While we do know that Anita’s boyfriend was the last person to see her, it hasn’t been confirmed whether she went missing from her home, workplace, or another location. Anita was living in Birmingham, Alabama, at the time, and few details are available regarding her case.
Over a year and a half after Anita went missing, WBRC6 News reported that there were leads in her case, but things soon fell cold.
“Sgt. Johnny Williams with the BPD says the department released information about Dobbs shortly after she went missing, but they never received any information about her whereabouts,” the outlet reported back in October 2011.
“They are hoping that by releasing her photo and description again, someone might have seen her and can help generate a new lead in the case.”
