Adding to the mystery, she had received disturbing, anonymous phone calls at work before her disappearance, and she’d told her family about recurring nightmares of being attacked. Because of the calls, her employers had installed an emergency buzzer at her desk and she kept the office locked.

The police investigated several suspects. Two brothers with a history of murder denied any involvement. Another convicted murderer was also considered a possibility, but no connection was ever made. The most promising lead involved Jose Rodriguez Jr., a drug dealer, and his lawyer, Richard Neller. Neller worked with Anderson’s law firm, and police believed she might have overheard them discussing drug deals. A witness claimed Rodriguez confessed to killing Anderson, but this testimony wasn’t considered reliable. Rodriguez and Neller are both in prison for drug crimes, but no one has ever been charged in Anderson’s disappearance. Despite leaving a significant amount of money in her bank account, and her social security number never being used again, her case remains a cold case.
