Elizabeth Campbell - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Just wondering if there have been any updates on the Elizabeth Campbell case since those sightings around Texas and her purse being found? I know that was a long time ago, but I've tried searching the Net and only came up with a couple sites that only state her profile at best.

Are both her parents still alive?
That man she was seen with seemed creepy.

I saw this segment (thanks to crystaldawn), and remembered it from my childhood. Creepy.

Just wondering?

I have seen this case several times on Lifetime and there was never an update to it. At least not that I've seen. Yes that guy was creepy. I think each of the 3 different convience store clerks had hunches that something was wrong, but since they couldn't prove it, they didn't act on it. Turns out they all would have been right. The guy seemed to take a risk on his part that last time by letting her go in the store by herself, as that might have provided an opportunity for her to let someone inside the store know what was going on, but nothing came of it. Unfortunate. I wish there was a happier ending here.

Such a sad case to think that she could still be out there not knowing who she is. Yes she's still on the doe network which means she's still missing. Here's another webpage about her with a age progressed picture:

I don't know about Elizabeth's father, but I know her mother was alive as late as 2005. In fact, a local TV station in Texas did a feature on the disappearance last year. They interviewed Elizabeth's mother, and it was obvious that she hadn't (and most likely still hasn't) given up hope that she will one day find Elizabeth. According to the segment, she has never been able to box up Elizabeth's clothes because doing so would mean that Elizabeth is really gone.

Hmmm, I always wonder about eyewitness testimony. Some person mentioned that she was with an Asian man and that she kept her eyes down and wouldnt make eye contact. I always felt that this episode had nothing to do with the case. I wonder if her boyfriend was suspected, didnt he and she have an argument? If it is convenience store murder, then we have a serial killer on our hands, because several disappeared from Texas, one from missssipi and I believe other neigbhoring states. I think the with the advent of security cameras ( I cant believe stores didnt have them then) cell phones and the high price of gasoline that the serial killer may soon become a thing of the past. Theres so much surveillance now, that its hard to do anything without big brother watching

Sometimes we forget that many of the murderes committed, especially when they are by strangers are often by repeat offenders. The disappearance of two girls from Oklahoma's state fair in 1981 was done by someone who killed another girl in Wyoming. If you want to really delve into unsolved disapperacnes, check out the Charley Project, the best website out there in terms of the information it posts, the webmaster has done and continues to do an amazing job!

That's conditional on stores actually using high-quality surveillance equipment. It's not so ubiquitous that it's cheap enough for every business to use....and even if it were cheap, businesses will do anything to cut corners. Many stores have security cameras mounted that arent' attached to anything, or use such crappy equipment that it's useless.

mistagee · 07-05-2006, 10:11 PM

YEs, its a shame, but any store that is open and overnight or where the employee is left alone should have cameras, and it should be mandatory. Was she abducted in the store or on her way walking home? I still wonder if the bf had anything to do with it?

rerungirl · 06-10-2007, 02:14 PM

The syndicated tv show "Missing" mentioned Elizabeth's disappearance this weekend. This is such a puzzling case. She has been missing for 19 years now and would have tuned 40 last month.

LooksLikeCRicci · 06-11-2007, 12:01 AM

Wow. Amazing how time flies in these cases.

I was totally creeped out by the Update in this case. I know it was just a picture of her purse in Evidence... but it was still freaky.

wiseguy182 · 12-16-2009, 02:40 AM

My gut feeling is that she was kidnapped, but I'm not ready to totally dismiss the boyfriend.

One thing that I thought was weird: Elizabeth calls Ricky to pick her up because she's scared. Ricky keeps balking at it, so she says "nevermind, I'll have my parents come pick me up." But instead of doing that, she continues on her way. I thought that was weird. If she was scared and wanted to be picked up, why did she continue on her way? I'm sure her parents would have picked her up.

But that the boyfriend didn't pick her up when she was scared sends up a red flag for me. And he did admit they had an argument.

soilentgreen · 12-16-2009, 02:35 PM

Her casefile on the Charley Project has information that wasn't on the U.M. segment. A clerk at the 7-11 where she called from saw her being dropped off by a man in a green gremlin, who was a Central Texas college student. Campbell's parents later contacted him; he said he saw her walking along the service road, offered her a ride, and dropped her off at the store in Copperas Cove (which was as far as he was going).

http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/...elizabeth.html

From what I recall of the UM segment, she mentioned to her boyfriend that she got a ride to the store and that she was scared. There's no mention if she ever attempted to call her family.

I'm curious about why this guy would claim to drop her off, 17 miles from her house, without making sure she had someone coming to pick her up. I've never felt the later sightings of the Asian girl were Elizabeth.

Elizabeth's sister posts here http://z10.invisionfree.com/usedtobe...showtopic=8888
Her screenname is Moonbug.

Elizabeth's case was featured on the radio show Missing Pieces.

creepy update yes

Just FYI Ell from Porchlight International submitted a potential match to TX law enforcement:

Missing:

Potential:

I think this is a very good potential match.

kadrmas15 · 05-12-2010, 03:41 AM

While I possible, in fact I am even hoping you are right Apostapler, there are certain facts that argue against it. Elizabeth's purse was discovered in Crockett County, Texas along a frequently traveled interstate, Interstate 10, in the town of Ozona, Texas. Crockett County itself is a rural county, only about 4, 100 people total in that county. Crockett County is out in the west Texas desert. Ozona where the pursue was discovered is about 370 miles east of El Paso and about 200 miles west of San Antonio. It is about 100 miles south of the Odessa/Midland area and is about 70 miles north of the border with Mexico.

Anderson County, Texas which is where the mysterious body was found, is in a completely different part of the state. Anderson County, a county of about 55,000 residents is also rural although not nearly as much in the middle of nowhere as Crockett County is. Anderson County is roughly 500 miles north, northeast of Crockett County. Anderson County is about 100 miles east of Waco and about 110, 115 miles southeast of Dallas.

However I will say, the one interesting thing about your theory and the one thing that makes me thing it might be true is this. While the geographical instances are all over the map, there is one curious thing. Elizabeth's purse was discovered in Crockett County or in their Sheriff's Department in what 1988? The body in Anderson County was also found in 1988.
