Lorrene Reynolds, 28-Missing Since June 1985: Columbus, Georgia (car Hartsfield Airport)

[Beekarina]

I have not seen Lorrene mentioned on rule out threads, so apologize if I have overlooked.

Princess Blue was estimated to be 4'11" - 5'3'. Lorrene was 5'5 - 5'6, 110 - 120 pounds.

Lorrene was Biracial. ( African American-Caucasian. )

Lorrene disappeared in June of 1985. Her car was found at Hartsfield airport in Georgia. From a Facebook page devoted to her, she was a Mary Rep, and took pride in her appearance. (Makeup, jewelry--i.e. the tiara pictured.)

Also from the Facebook page for Lorrene, she was originally from Leimert Park in Los Angeles. One of the photos below is from her high school year book. A former boyfriend mentions he dated her, and she enlisted in the Army in 1976. This would make Lorrene around the right age to be in possession of a 1975 class ring.

She is a bit outside the age range for Princess Blue, and I'm not sure if Princess Blue jewelry style would have fit her or not. Lorrene was noted as wearing pearl jewelry (earrings) when last seen.

Bumping her case.

I've spent a lot of time in the Columbus GA area. ATL airport definitely isn't too far away for her killers to have dumped her car there.

Columbus is also very close to Phenix City, AL. I knew a number of soldiers stationed at Ft Benning who lived in Phenix City, especially the Ft Mitchell area. I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that her killer could've been from there.

Phenix City back in the day was not known to be a nice place.

Phenix City had been a haven for crime almost since its incorporation in the early 19th century.

At one point, U.S. Secretary of War Henry Stimson called Phenix City “the wickedest city in America” after receiving a report about how Fort Benning soldiers had been victimized there. According to author Margaret Anne Barnes, who wrote the definitive history of Phenix City, Gen. George Patton once threatened to take his tanks from Fort Benning to “mash Phenix City flat” because of the “atrocities committed against his soldiers.”

She isn't Princess Blue, since she was identified recently as Julie Gwenn Davis, but Lorrene has a thread here:
