Missing since December 12, 1971 from the Overbrook Park section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Classification: Involuntary
Vital Statistics

Distinguishing Characteristics: White female. Green eyes; long blonde hair, past shoulder-length, wavy at the ends.
Clothing: long brown coat with black fake-fur trim, bell-bottom jeans and platform shoes. Brown suede pocketbook.
Dentals: Straight and even teeth.
Circumstances of Disappearance
On the evening of Saturday, December 11, 1971, with her parents out of town on a week-long cruise, Liz Lande and two of her girlfriends spent the evening talking and watching television. At around midnight, Liz received a phone call from her boyfriend, Bobby Nauss, a member of the Warlocks Motorcycle Club. Nauss asked Liz to spend the weekend with him.
At about 1:50 am, a neighbor who lived across the street from the Lande residence heard a noise outside. When he looked out of his bedroom window, he saw Liz walk out of the front door to her house, to the sidewalk and get into a waiting gold-colored Toronado.
On July 12, 1977, a friend of Bobby Nauss - turned witness - attempted to lead Law Enforcement to a location in the Pine Barrens where he said he had helped Nauss bury Liz's body. The location was near Williamstown, NJ, about 16 miles southeast of Philadelphia.
The previously heavily wooded area was now occupied by housing subdivisions. The witness tried several times to pinpoint the burial site, and the officers dug up each location, but failed to locate Liz's remains.
On December 9, 1977 Robert Nauss was convicted for the murder of Elizabeth Lande. Her body has never been found.
