- Details of Disappearance:
- Hatadis disappeared from South Lake Tahoe, California, around July 23rd or 24th, 1997. Her son, worried because he hadn’t heard from her, went to her hotel room at the Shamrock Inn. The room was messy, her computer and other things were missing, and her car – a blue 1988 Dodge Dynasty (license plate 2KZC391) – was gone. It didn’t look like she’d packed to leave.
Her son reported her missing on August 4th. A week later, he found a bloodstain on her mattress.
Later that month, police stopped Edward Hawkins in Colorado. He was driving Hatadis’s car and had stolen credit cards. Hawkins was a recently released bank robber, wanted for another robbery in Las Vegas. He claimed he didn’t know Hatadis and bought the car from someone he didn’t know.
Police believe Hatadis was likely murdered. The case is still being investigated as a homicide.
