Circumstances of Disappearance: Elizabeth went to class at the local junior college, CTC, then to work at the 7-11 store on Rancier Avenue in Killeen, TX by the East Gate of Fort Hood Army Base. She left work and went to her ex-boyfriend's house to begin studying for the last final exams. Sometime during the group study, an argument had broken out by the ex-boyfriend, and sometime after 9:30pm to about 10pm, Elizabeth started to walk home. Elizabeth arrived a little after 11pm at the 7-11 in Copperas Cove, TX off Hwy. 190. Since they knew that Elizabeth worked at the 7-11 store in Killeen, an employee allowed Elizabeth to make a local call. Elizabeth called her boyfriend to come and pick her up. Another argument by the ex-boyfriend erupted. Elizabeth said that she was going to call her brother to pick her up instead. Since the call was long distance, Elizabeth had to make the call on the payphone outside. Another employee of the 7-11 had seen Elizabeth by a payphone making a call around midnight. About the same a phone rang at her home in Lampasas, TX. Elizabeth's mother picked the phone up but the phone was dead. The last known sighting of Elizabeth was by a payphone in Copperas Cove, TX on Hwy. 190.
Elizabeth's purse was later found and turned into the Crockett County sheriff's property room in Ozona, TX, off I-10 on 29 April 1992 (Some 4 years and four days later).
Additional Information regarding Elizabeth's Purse: No documentation was found of when or where the purse was found or who turned the purse in. They asked questions to the sheriff: "Is not a newly appointed sheriff suppose to take a complete inventory of what he is now going to be in charge of - Deputies, supplies, unclaimed items in the property room, etc.?" We asked several more questions. The sheriff gave excuses or no real answers.
The sheriff assumed Elizabeth’s purse was turned in sometime between 25 April 1988 and 1 January 1989. Unfortunately, we cannot be given a true time for the pervious sheriff had passed away.
