Case Information:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Laurie Jean Depies<\/strong> vanished at age 20 from Appleton (Menasha), Wisconsin<\/a>, on August 19, 1992. She disappeared after finishing a shift at the Fox River Mall and driving to her boyfriend\u2019s apartment on West Wilson Avenue in Menasha.

Her gray 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit was found locked in the complex parking lot with her purse, overnight bag, and a Styrofoam cup of soda left inside or on the car, but Laurie was nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case Details:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before she went missing, Laurie was an artistic free spirit who loved drawing and heavy metal music. She worked at Graffiti, a unique retail store inside the Fox River Mall<\/a> in Appleton. On August 19, 1992, she finished her retail shift around 9:30 p.m. and began driving to see her boyfriend, Mark Trouten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She arrived at The Elms Apartments on West Wilson Avenue, where Mark and his friends heard her car pull up and her door slam shut. In those brief moments, she vanished before making it inside. Her boyfriend went outside shortly after and discovered her locked vehicle, but Laurie was completely gone.<\/p>\n\n\n
