Delores Sumpter was reported missing to the Spirit Lake Police Department on April 1, 1978. Delores Sumpter was last known to be living at the YMCA and was to meet Family there. Delores left a note on the day of the arranged meeting stating, "Had gone to church, would be late." Delores never returned
 
I wonder ifDelores simply changed her name and chose to disappear. I ask this because Ihave checked Ancestry and on there is a record from the US Social Security andClaims Index for Deloris Diane Sumpter. Despite the slightly different spellingof Delores this clearly refers to the same person as it specifies a whitefemale, born in Centerville, Iowa on December 21 1950 – the DoB matchesDelores. Therefore it can be assumed that either the information on this recordis valid or Ancestry (and by extension US Social Security) have a false recordwhich seems unlikely. The information on the record is as follows;
SSN: 480685129
Death Date:3[SUP]rd[/SUP] June 2003
February1967: name listed as Deloris Diane Covington
December1972: name listed as Deloris Diane Kafka
May 1974:name listed as Deloris Diane Sumpter
5[SUP]th[/SUP]October 1977: name listed as Deedee Dawn Prater
4[SUP]th[/SUP]Jan 1978: name listed as Deedee Dawn Hillig
29[SUP]th[/SUP]Sept 1994: name listed as Gigi Diane Kaszko
There is anotherrecord on Ancestry (with matching DoB of 21[SUP]st[/SUP] December 1950) for amarriage of Deedee Dawn Sumpter to Robert Lee Hufford in Laclede Missouri on 4June 1976 and other possible records under various name variations. It doesseem that Delores may have had multiple aliases.
I shouldhave said that I took Delores DoB originally from the record on http://z10.invisionfree.com/usedtobedoe/index.php?showtopic=65727
I do notknow what all this means but it seems odd that LE did not check the index.

 
Just realized the article is fairly repetitive and linear with the case file, so unfortunately no new information can be gained from this source. Good to note that people are still searching for Delores however.

Rest peacefully now ma’am.
