In the early summer of 1981, Alma Louise O’Con, a 34-year-old U.S. military veteran known to her loved ones as "Weezie," was seeking care at the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana. She had been admitted to the hospital for what was described as extreme stress and exhaustion. During her time at the facility, she had established a comforting nightly routine. Every evening, her mother and aunt would come to the hospital, and she would meet them in the downstairs lobby for a visit, a small moment of family connection during a difficult time. Alma was described as a white female with black or brown hair and hazel or brown eyes. At the time she went missing, she stood between 5'3" and 5'6" and weighed between 115 and 130 pounds. The evening of June 9, 1981, began like any other during her hospital stay, but it would end in a mystery that has endured for decades. On this particular night, Alma deviated from her established routine. She came downstairs from her room alone, carrying only a glass of milk. She did not meet her mother and aunt in the lobby as she usually did. The last known sighting of Alma was by a security guard who saw her on the hospital grounds. From that moment, she vanished without a trace. She was reportedly wearing either a red plaid shirt or a blue and white shirt, along with blue jeans and tan shoes. Following her disappearance, a missing person report was filed with the Shreveport Police Department, but an initial investigation uncovered no significant leads, and the case quickly went cold. For years, there has been no new information to suggest what happened to Alma after she walked out of the hospital that night. Her case is classified as one of an endangered missing person, as she was dealing with mental and emotional health challenges and may have been in need of medical attention. Organizations like the LSU FACES Laboratory now serve as a repository for information on Louisiana's missing persons, ensuring that individuals like Alma are not forgotten. The case of Alma Louise O'Con remains a quiet and unsettling disappearance; a woman seeking help for her health vanished from the very place she was meant to find it, leaving behind only questions and an absence that has been felt for over four decades.
