- Details of Disappearance:
- Sandra disappeared in Fresno, California on July 10, 1999. She left her daughter’s house to go shopping around 11:30 a.m. in her white Ford Explorer. Two days later, her car was found abandoned at a Target, near her home, with her purse and keys inside. The driver’s seat was adjusted for someone taller than her. This was very unusual; Sandra always kept in touch with family. She vanished without a trace.
Her husband, Frank, gave police conflicting stories and refused to cooperate. He claimed to be in Fresno when Sandra disappeared, but his cell phone records show a call from a different city that day. Police searched their home and found Sandra’s diary, revealing she knew Frank was having an affair.
Because of the suspicious circumstances, police changed Sandra’s case to a homicide investigation in February 2000. Frank is considered a person of interest but hasn’t been arrested. He proposed to his girlfriend shortly after Sandra vanished and, in 2006, had Sandra declared legally dead to get their house.
Sandra’s disappearance remains a mystery.
