Lisa Dianne Jameson,23: Vanished After Work In 1991
She got a ride home from work and wasn't seen again.
Working late-night and graveyard shifts can be daunting. It was November 4, 1991, in Chandler, Arizona, when Lisa finished her overnight shift at an electronics business. According to reports, Lisa Jameson was able to get a ride from one of her coworkers, who dropped her off around McQueen Road and Chandler Boulevard around 7:15 a.m. It’s unclear where she exited the vehicle, as reports don’t specify if she was at a house, apartment, or corner.

In December, Lisa’s vehicle, a 1989 Pontiac LeMans, was located in the nearby city of Phoenix. It was found abandoned in the parking lot of an adult bookstore, but there was nothing inside to suggest that a violent struggle or altercation of any kind had occurred inside. Nothing that authorities were able to lift from the vehicle aided in finding out how or why Lisa Dianne Jameson vanished, either.
Unsubstantiated Rumors Abound
Some have suggested that Lisa possibly took a trip or started a new life, but that wasn’t in her character. All of her clothing and personal items were left at her home with her husband, and those close to her couldn’t believe that she would leave behind her two-year-old son. Lisa’s credit cards and bank accounts remained untouched, and her family—a large group that included five of Lisa’s siblings—didn’t understand where she could be.
However, reports state that just 24 hours before the 23-year-old went missing, she shared with her mother that she suspected she was pregnant. Lisa allegedly had mixed feelings about the news, considering she also told her mom that her husband didn’t want any other children. As time progressed, it was reported that Lisa’s family suspected that her husband was somehow involved in her disappearance. Police, however, never charged him, and it’s unclear if he was named as a suspect in the case. Two years after his wife disappeared, Lisa’s husband abandoned their son, who was later adopted by Lisa’s parents, and moved to Bolivia.
Since Lisa resided in Gilbert, Arizona, the police department there has been in charge of her case.
