Ellabeth Mae Lodermeier, also known as Ellie, went missing on March 6, 1974, in Sioux Falls, SD. When she didn’t show up for work her co-workers called her soon to be ex-husband, Gene Lodermeier. When Gene and a few coworkers went to her house they found the doors locked and her car in the driveway. Inside was a pizza with a single slice missing, bread dough left rising on the counter, and spilled flour. Only her jacket and purse was missing from the home. Months later her credit cards will show up in Canada and 19 years later her wallet and purse will be found buried next to a river. Despite these clues, investigators have never been able to bring Ellie home.
