Pamela Lynne Neal was 22 when she disappeared in broad daylight, in the middle of Englewood, CO while on a lunch break from her work as a bank teller at Key Savings and Loan. It was 2 PM on March 31 1983. She was 5’4″ , 105 lbs with brown eyes and brown hair.
Pam lived quietly in a third floor apartment which she shared with another teller from the Savings & Loan. It was just across the street from their work. She did not own a car or frequent nightclubs.
Pamela Neal was born in Denver, Colorado July 18, 1960. She graduated from Cherry Creek High School in 1978. Pamela attended Western State College at Gunnison then spent a year in Alaska. After a short time in Maine with her parents, Pam returned to Colorado and landed the bank teller’s job.
“Pam was a happy person,” remembered her mother, Pat Neal. “She had a great sense of humor and always seemed upbeat and friendly. Pam enjoyed the outdoors and liked to go camping. Pat also recalls her daughter’s fondness for plants as well as designing jewelry.
In a story about Pam’s disappearance, Denver Magazine reports: “…Neal left her window for lunch…walked two blocks east from the intersection of Hampden and Broadway to another bank, where she cashed a check. She then headed back to the apartment, stopping along the way at a grocery store to buy one Colorado lottery ticket and a take out lunch.
“Her roommate – still at work – and a cabinet maker with a shop on the ground level of the apartment building both saw Neal enter the building. But no one saw the…woman again. When Neal didn’t return to work, police were summoned. They arrived at the young woman’s apartment to find a puzzling scene: The door was slightly open. The take-out lunch…was still in an unopened bag on the coffee table. The lottery ticket, unscratched, was still inside a wallet in her purse.
“Despite a massive search by 13 detectives, the investigation gradually came to an unsuccessful end. ”
