Debra Kay Stewart, a 19-year-old communications student, was last seen on May 21, 1976, in Austin, Texas. She had been working at a Sears department store in South Austin, near Hyde Park, and left work early that day, reportedly to see a doctor as she had been feeling unwell due to a chronic kidney condition. However, she never arrived at the doctor's office, and her car was found two days later, abandoned with the keys still in the ignition.
Despite extensive searches and investigations, no signs of foul play were found in her car or at her apartment.
Stewart’s disappearance remains a mystery, and authorities have considered the possibility of foul play. Her case has drawn comparisons to two other missing women in the Austin area around the same time, raising concerns that the cases could be related, though no definitive link has been established. Despite her family’s efforts, including hiring a private investigator, no new clues have emerged to explain her sudden disappearance.Last Seen: May 21, 1976
