Pflum disappeared back on March 28, 1986, at the age of 18 years old. The case haunted the community for decades. A day after she disappeared, Pflum’s Buick Regal was found in a rural farm in neighboring Glenwood but without any evidence, including fingerprints.

Her 1981 Buick Regal was found abandoned the next day alongside Tower Road, an area three miles from where the party was held.
