"Did somebody take her? Do they have her somewhere else? Is she alive?"
These are the questions that have haunted Dan Anderson in the nearly four decades since his younger sister, then 23-year-old Carla Anderson, vanished from her apartment in Wadena, Minnesota.
Memories of their childhood still flash into his mind like clockwork: the click of a camera as 9-year-old Carla held a spatula at the stove of their camper in Alaska, or the sound of her record player as she belted out "Delta Dawn" over and over in her room before her brothers pounded on her door asking her to turn it down.
And then the most troubling memory of them all — when Carla disappeared in November 1987, with a rented movie still in her VCR and the apartment door locked with her purse inside.
The Hardee's fry cook affectionately known as "spud" had just spent the night out with her mother and stepfather celebrating her being chosen employee of the month.
