Rita Rinehart has been missing for almost 29 years.
and
The mother of two girls was 32 in April 1980 when she suddenly vanished.
Rita Rinehart worked at the Folger's coffee plant in downtown Kansas City.
She had moved to Raymore to get away from her husband, David Rinehart, who had been charged with raping Rita's 8-year-old daughter.
David Rinehart ultimately spent five years in prison.
Rita Rinehart was supposed to testify in the case. She had said she was afraid of her husband and that he had once held a gun to her head.
A month after Rita was last seen in Kansas City, David Rinehart's brother found Rita's pickup at a truck stop at Interstate 70 and Highway 7.
Police said Rita was fond of talking on CB radios with truck drivers. Her call sign was Wild Woman.
Investigators said Rita's pickup appeared to have been towed to the truck stop, and a line going to the transmission had been cut.
Foul play is suspected.
Rita's two daughters were later adopted by relatives.
David Rinehart still lives in the area.
Anyone with information in the case can call the Crime Stoppers TIPS hot line at 816-474-TIPS.
