Mollett was last seen in Orlando, Florida on April 1, 1984. Her vehicle, a metallic blue 1979 BMW 320i with a sunroof and the Florida license plate number IBV589, drove away from her residence in the 4600 block of Fern Drive at 2:00 a.m. She was reportedly dropped off by a friend at the Orlando International Airport, but it's unclear whether she actually boarded any flights. She has never been heard from again. Mollett was going through a divorce at the time of her disappearance, and there was a history of domestic violence in her relationship with her estranged husband. She left behind a fourteen-year-old son. It's uncharacteristic of Mollett to be away from home for an extended time period. Her case remains unsolved.
