Details of Disappearance
Hamby left her home in Wilkesboro, North Carolina on October 29, 1982 to make a car payment. She told her mother she would not be late getting home, as they were planning on going shopping together that evening.
Later that day, Hamby's silver Mazda was found abandoned at Glenn`s Tastee Freeze in Wilkesboro. It had a full tank of fuel and her pocketbook with identification was inside the car, but her keys were gone. Witnesses reported Hamby was seen at 11:30 a.m., driving her car to the location where it was found. She was accompanied by a "rough-looking" blond man at the time, and was talking to him. She has never been heard from again.
Hamby is described as a dependable person who would not have left without telling anyone. Two suspects were investigated for possible involvement in her disappearance in 1987, but they turned out to have been incarcerated at the time of her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.
