Linda Sue Davis was last seen in Claremore, Oklahoma, on January 7, 1976, in the company of an unidentified Caucasian male at Don’s Club, at 1:30 a.m. She vanished without a trace and has never been heard from again. She was 29 years old.

On January 8, her car was discovered abandoned in the 400 block of northwest 9th Street in Oklahoma City. A witness reported seeing the man park the car and walk away the day before.

In the trunk of Linda’s car, authorities found her purse which contained her driver’s license, prescription medications, makeup, as well as various bills and receipts. Along with her purse, her light-colored corduroy coat was found. It was stained with blood and was punctured by approximately twenty stab marks. Blood was found inside the car, on the fender, and in the trunk. Additionally, one of Linda’s brown shoes was found in a nearby bush several days later.

Linda was a divorced and a mother to young children and had been scheduled to testify in an assault case involving Roland Corky Sanders. Sanders had been charged with pointing a deadly weapon at an officer in the summer of 1975. Linda was believed to be a witness to the incident. After her disappearance, Sanders pleaded guilty to the deadly weapon case and received a two-year deferred sentence.

Linda had been employed at the Orbits lounge and had handed over her receipts to her boss on the day before she disappeared. During this exchange, she expressed concerns about someone possibly following her but believed she had lost them. Speculation about Linda’s fate includes the possibility of entering witness protection or becoming a victim of a serial killer.

Linda is described as a white female with light brown hair and green eyes. She has a hysterectomy scar on her abdomen and at the time of her disappearance, her foot and/or toe was fractured when a horse stepped on it.

Linda’s case remains shrouded in mystery. There is very limited evidence available, and no one has been charged.
