Case Classification: Endangered Missing / Suspected Homicide
Missing Since: November 8, 1973
Location Last Seen: Elkhart, Elkhart County, Indiana
Description:
Langs was last seen in Elkhart, Indiana on November 8, 1973. She worked a full day that day, drove a friend home from work, and has never been heard from again.
In April 1976, parts of Langs' 1972 Mercury Montego were found in a garage behind a burned-out farmhouse in Elwood, Indiana. It had been disassembled with a cutting torch.
Langs' former boyfriend, Gerald Casimer Libertowski Jr., was later charged with her murder in 1976 along with the murder of another missing woman, Janice Kay Sanders. He was later acquitted of Langs's murder, and the charges in Sanders's presumed death were dropped for lack of evidence.
Authorities continue to believe Libertowski was involved in both cases, however, he died in 2010. Foul play is suspected in both women's disappearances due to the circumstances involved.
