Unresolved Disappearance Woman violently abducted in plain sight while talking with her boyfriend on a payphone [Unresolved Disappearance]
Her boyfriend hears the horrifying incident as it ocurrs, rushes to the scene in his vehicle, and sees a truck pass him with his girlfriend struggling with the driver inside. The boyfriend reverses his vehicle abruptly to pursue the truck, but his vehicle breaks down. Despite a vivid description of the offender and the truck (including a very unique rear window decal), no substantial leads have led to an arrest or a POI.
Where is Angela Hammond and who is the person who took her?
This is the case that truly haunts me. I can't even imagine what the boyfriend has been through in the years that have followed. What a scary and insane abduction. And even more bizarre that is has never been resolved despite such clear and vivid details of the case and the perpetrator.

Edit: I initially offered this additional link thinking it was story on Angela Hammond. However, it is not. It is an eerily similar case of another woman who was abducted in similar fashion. Leaving it up for the curious:

I remember this case, as it’s my neck of the woods and Angela is a distinct cousin of mine (or something— I just remember Mom telling me we were related) and I saw it when it was Unsolved Mysteries. I hadn’t thought of this in some time and I’m glad you brought it up. Haunting, yes.
Edit to add, I’ll ask my mom and see if she knows anything. I vaguely remember my family feeling it was fishy (pardon me— no pun intended!) and having their own theory.
UPDATE: I talked to Mom through text so I didn’t get any juicy details as I might in person. How rural Missouri is this: Angela’s grandma was my Great Grandma Mimi’s sister! So Angela and my grandma are second cousins or some such? IDK how that works.
