Do you know who murdered Laura? On Christmas Day in 1991, a 22-year-old Caucasian woman named Laura Melissa Scaggs vanished in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She was a white female with brown hair and green eyes, standing five feet nine inches tall and weighing approximately 165 pounds. Laura, who was very nearsighted, wore contact lenses. She had several distinguishing marks, including a Cesarean section scar on her abdomen, pierced ears, and possibly a tattoo.
A prior injury had left her with a broken forearm.
Laura was reportedly last seen at a residence on North Columbia Avenue in Tulsa. After that day, her family and friends never heard from her again. A significant amount of time passed without any contact from Laura before she was officially reported as a missing person. She sometimes used the last name Branstetter or went by her middle name, Melissa, or the name Melissa Cook.
Decades have passed since Laura Scaggs's disappearance, and her case has grown cold. The Tulsa Police Department continues to list her as a missing person, and her case remains one of the city's unsolved mysteries. There have been no arrests made in connection with her disappearance, and no suspects have ever been publicly named. The details of what happened to Laura after she was last seen on that Christmas Day are unknown, leaving her family with unanswered questions.
