Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4362) and 6 other sources
Lanell Janca Kahlbau, aged 72, was last seen on June 7, 2004, in Lampasas, Texas. Her disappearance is closely linked to heavy flooding in the area at the time. After she was reported missing, her vehicle was found submerged in a creek that feeds into the Lampasas River and eventually into the Stillhouse Reservoir. This discovery raised concerns that she may have been caught in the floodwaters, but despite searches, Lanell herself has never been located.

Kahlbau's case has been classified as a long-term missing person case, and while there have been no recent developments, authorities continue to seek information regarding her disappearance. Her case remains unresolved, and it highlights the dangers associated with natural disasters, as well as the ongoing need for public assistance in such missing persons cases. Anyone with information is urged to contact law enforcement to help bring closure to this longstanding mystery.
