Erin Gilbert was 24 years old in 1995 when she went missing on July 1st.
For the past year, Erin had been living in Anchorage, Alaska, with her sister’s family. She had found work as a nanny and was beginning to settle in.

A few days before her disappearance, she met a man named David Combs at a bar in Anchorage. Several days later, David invited her to accompany him to the Girdwood Forest Fair. It was the July 4th weekend, and the event drew a large crowd.

After spending some time at the fair, the two returned to David’s car, which had stopped working. According to David, he had accidentally left the headlights on, and the battery had died. He said he went to look for help while Erin stayed behind.

When he returned to the car a few hours later—with no success finding assistance—Erin was gone. She has not been seen since. It has now been nearly 30 years.
