Corinne Perry, 17, disappeared in 1983; her body was found over a year later
Despite eyewitness accounts, no arrests have been made in the case
Her sister Letitia still seeks justice, urging anyone with information to come forward
On an April evening in 1983, 17-year-old Corinne Perry left home to do laundry in Creston, Iowa. She never returned. Her neatly-folded clothes were found in her car; her body was discovered over a year later.
The case remains unsolved.
It was a quiet Sunday when Corinne, a high school senior known for her bright smile and passion for theater, walked out the door for a routine chore. She was headed to the Highlander Laundromat just a few blocks away, a familiar errand in the small southwest Iowa town where she lived with her mother and sister.
