I don't have even a remote guess what could have happened to her, and I have yet to find a UID that matches. Glad her family is still looking after all this time.

Bumping for Regina! Have researched quite a bit in the New Orleans area for MP's and somehow I missed her. Reading Where is Regina FB page their are a lot of family and friends that love and miss her very much.

Regina went missing on March 10, 1981 when her car was found abandoned on the Huey P. Long Bridge - still running with her purse on the seat. It was automatically assumed a suicide and it appears that no investigation followed. No police reports have ever been located and her body was never found.

Thank you for providing the additional details ... It rings a bell now ... do not believe a name was provided in the media when the car was found abandoned on the Huey P.

There is always hope in locating her she was very much loved by both family and friends!

Just saw her case on Charley. I got excited for a second after seeing her photos and thought of Walker County Doe but double checked the year and she went missing 5 months after WCD was found.

Found a few that fit the time frame.

I think it’s very telling that her car was found on the bridge SIX days after she went missing. I doubt she drove it there. More likely, whoever abducted her needed to ditch the car and at the same time made it look like suicide. MOO

I wonder if the car was forensically examined at all. I know it’s highly doubtful, but if the car is still available (maybe kept for sentimental reason?) that would be invaluable.
