Debbie Wolfe vanished on December 26, 1985; on the previous day, she had celebrated Christmas with her family. When she did not show up at work the next day, her family became concerned. On New Year’s Day 1986, her body  was found at the bottom of a small irrigation pond outside her isolated cabin near Fort Bragg. She lived there with her two dogs, roughly 4 miles from the Fayetteville city limits.
