The first occurred in July of 1981, when Tereasa Knuth's boyfriend reported her missing from the squatters camp where they lived outside Frisco where the County Commons now sit.

The 23-year-old's purse, money and identification all remained in the couple's converted school bus, but Knuth was never seen again.

The most recent work on the case Woodman could recall was in the late 1980s or early 1990s when police received information that Knuth's body could be in the woods near Montezuma.

A group searched the area on foot, but never found anything...

...While both McClure and Knuth are still listed as missing people, their cases no longer receive consistent attention, Woodman said.

"The unfortunate reality is they do kind of go by the wayside," he said. "As new cases go in, we're only able to keep up with what we've got. The harsh reality is they do get looked at very infrequently, I'll bet money that neither of them (has been) looked at in 10 years."...
