In a portion of the original police report, which Beth’s father included in his letter to President Johnson, two couples seen at the motel behind the Gill house are noted. A white male aged 60-65, described as a “natty dresser.” His companion was a white female with white hair, over 60 years old, 5’1”, 150 lbs. The second couple was a white female, believed to be the daughter of the other woman, 5’2” with red hair, and her husband, also white, 6’1”, with a slender build. While all those noted would probably no longer be living, the FBI has interviewed people who might be acquaintances or relatives of those in the report.
In the years since Beth disappeared, her sister Martha has devoted time to volunteering with Team Hope at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to offer support for other families of the missing.
“I have very strong faith and I almost feel like this has been a calling for me. Part of healing is helping others,” Martha told Dateline.
Elizabeth Ann Gill would be 56 years old today. At the time of her disappearance, Elizabeth was 2’6” and weighed about 22 lbs. with brown hair and blue eyes. If you have any information on the circumstances surrounding Elizabeth’s disappearance or where she might be today, please call the Cape Girardeau Police Department at 573-335-6621.
Why haven't they released any of her photos? Not even to news agencies when it first happened?
I hope some answers start coming soon. 57 years is too long.The case wouldn’t be classified as a kidnapping until 2010, which was 45 years after Elizabeth disappeared.
According to the Doe Network, a possible relative of the couple staying in the motel was located in 2010.
Investigators interviewed the elderly woman, and she was reluctant to talk. She mentioned that two of her family members had been involved in the investigation.
She was told by her relative and his wife that he had been held and questioned by police. No record could be found indicating the couple was ever questioned.
Elizabeth Ann Gill (NamUs)
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Elizabeth Ann Gill was just 2 years old when she disappeared from her front yard in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on June 13, 1965.
Elizabeth was the youngest of 10 siblings and had been left in the care of her older siblings while the parents and two children took a short trip, according to the Doe Network.
It was around 4 p.m. that June afternoon when the family noticed she was missing. The family searched outside and inside the house but could not find her, according to NBC
When they said Bethie was missing, my mom passed out'
Her older sister, Martha Gill Hamilton, told Dateline that when people would approach her little sister she would readily follow them. Their father had grown up in the same neighborhood and trusted the people there.
