The year was 1991. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie, Part II, was playing in the theaters. Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson were topping the music charts.

20-year-old Angela Hammond was 4 months pregnant and engaged. On the night of April 4, 1991, Angela stopped to use a pay phone at 11:45 p.m. Angela called up her fiance, Rob, and let him know she wasn’t going to meet up with him as she was tired. She was going to head home and go to bed instead.

As they were talking, she noticed a truck driving around the empty parking lot and felt unsettled by it. She told Rob this and Rob stayed on the phone with her, until to his horror, he suddenly heard Angela scream, and the phone went dead.

No one would ever see or hear from Angela again.
