On today’s episode of The Lost Girls, with Amy Smith and LaDonna Humphrey, we’re telling the story of Michelle Louise Harley.

Michelle was just 22 years old when she vanished from Broward County, Florida, in the summer of 1989. A nurse. A young mother. A woman who never missed a call to check on her medically fragile son—until the day she left work to have lunch with an unidentified man and never came back.

Her car would surface months later in a Maryland salvage yard. The man last seen with her would die violently before he could ever be questioned. And Michelle? She was never heard from again.

This is a case layered with red flags, lost evidence, and decades of silence—one that raises uncomfortable questions about who is believed, who is protected, and who is allowed to vanish.

Stay with us.
Because Michelle Louise Harley is not just a missing person—
she is one of The Lost Girls.
