37 year old Becky had put together a comfortable lifestyle for herself, but during a late night shift at a convenience store all that would be taken away when she was led out the door at knifepoint. Who took her, and how long will this family have to wait for answers?

The man who abducted Rebecca is described as a white male who was in his late twenties to early thirties in 1997. He is approximately 5’9”, weighs between 165 and 185 pounds, and in the late 90’s he had long brown hair and a moustache with stubble. The unknown abductor was wearing a dark baseball cap, white short sleeved shirt, and jeans.
