It was April 29th, 1989—a spring day in Arkansas, quiet and unassuming. Susan Lynn Burns, a 32-year-old mother, daughter, and wife, was dropped off at the Little Rock airport by her husband. According to him, she was heading somewhere. But no one knows where. And no one ever saw her again.
Susan was born on June 23rd, 1956, and lived in Mena, a small town tucked in Polk County, Arkansas. She stood 5 foot 6, with brown hair, piercing blue eyes, and a few aliases—Susan Darst and Susan Brown—names that now echo like unanswered questions. At the time of her disappearance, she weighed about 135 pounds. But beyond those basic details, little else is known—not what she wore that day, not if she ever boarded a plane, and not what she may have taken with her.
What we do know is chilling: There’s no record of her ever arriving at her destination. No boarding pass. No confirmed flight. No phone calls. No activity. Nothing.
Her husband claimed he left her at the terminal. That was the last time anyone admits to seeing her. Since that moment, Susan Lynn Burns has vanished without a trace.
There are no dental records, no fingerprints on file, and to this day, no DNA has ever been submitted to any database. That alone makes her one of the most invisible missing persons in the system. And yet—someone, somewhere, knows something.
Did Susan ever plan to get on that flight? Or was she already in danger before she ever reached the airport?
Over three decades have passed. No answers. No justice. No peace.
If you're listening and you know anything—if you remember something, overheard something, or you’ve carried a secret for years—it’s not too late to speak up. You can remain anonymous. You can make the difference.
Susan Lynn Burns didn’t just disappear. People don’t just vanish. Someone out there holds the key to what really happened that day in 1989.
