- Details of Disappearance:
- On October 2, 1981, Susan Calfee was last seen with her boyfriend, Jim Pruitt. They were supposed to go fishing, but canceled the trip. Calfee got out of Pruitt’s car in Dahlonega, Georgia, and started hitchhiking home.
Earlier that year, Calfee had accused Pruitt of assaulting her – beating, choking, and pushing her down stairs. She’d been afraid to report him before, even though he’d hurt her repeatedly. Calfee disappeared just five days before Pruitt was due in court for her assault case.
At the trial, Pruitt admitted to strangling Calfee with his tie during an argument, saying he only wanted to scare her. He was found guilty of a minor assault (misdemeanor battery).
After Calfee vanished, she never used her credit cards or bank accounts. Her family says she would never disappear without telling anyone. Because of the assault and her unexplained disappearance, police suspect foul play, but the case remains unsolved.
