The Disappearance of Sandra Ross

It has been 41 years since Sandra Kay Ross disappeared after she left her residence on Sunday, January 8, 1984. Mrs. Ross reportedly left the home in Apex, North Carolina, in the family’s 1976 Chevrolet Malibu around noon. She had indicated to her husband that she was going to purchase groceries and items for their baby.

According to wake.gov, Mr. Ross reported that he left the home to find his wife after Sandra had not returned for an hour and a half.

The car was later recovered in the parking lot area of the Cary Village Mall, later that day, near the entrance to the Treasure Drug Store, with her purse still inside.
