7 of Utah's most famous missing persons cases
[...]
Nancy Perry Baird
She was young, beautiful, strawberry blonde and hasn’t been seen since July 4, 1975. That Independence Day, a police officer saw Nancy Perry Baird, a 23-year-old single mother, working as an attendant at a gas station on Highway 89 in Layton. Just 15 minutes later, Baird was noticed missing. To this day, she still is.
Police questioned Baird’s ex-husband and two friends and passed polygraph tests related to her disappearance. The motive for her plausible abduction is also unclear, as Baird had a four-year-old son she was unlikely to abandon, and her purse — with a substantial sum of cash still in it — was found at the service station.
The likely explanation for Baird’s disappearance is sinister; according to the AP, authorities believe serial killer Ted Bundy was the culprit, though he never confessed. Authorities suspect he killed at least five women in Utah (but confessed to more) from 1974 to 1975.
While Baird’s situation doesn’t fit Bundy’s profile exactly — for example, he didn’t abduct any other women from service stations — the timing of her disappearance makes the theory plausible. Baird’s body has never been found, so her missing persons case remains open to this day.
