Althea Lanelle Rogers, a 35-year-old woman from Georgetown, Texas, was last seen on October 2, 1985. On that day, she was reportedly hitchhiking in the Georgetown area. She was described as being 5'4" tall and weighing around 100 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, and a noticeable hysterectomy scar. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing ragged jeans and might have been carrying an orange backpack and a handgun.
Althea had emptied her bank account just before her disappearance, leaving behind a note at her home that cryptically stated, "Lanelle Rogers NO LONGER EXIST!" This has led authorities to suspect foul play in her case.
Despite extensive efforts, no significant leads have emerged, and her case remains unsolved. She had gone by multiple aliases, including Lanelle Rogers, Althea Thornton, and Althea Hankins, which may have complicated the investigation. The Williamson County Sheriff's Office has continued to work on this cold case for decades, but her fate remains unknown. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact law enforcement as the family and investigators are still searching for answers after nearly 40 years.Last Seen: Oct 2, 1985
