    • Details of Disappearance
    Elaine Ann Dhaemers' family last heard from her in April 2003 when she was getting off a bus in Phoenix. The art student came to the Valley that month to get away from her Minnesota hometown's harsh winters. The last known traces of Dhaemers were a backpack and other items found on a remote hiking trail in South Mountain Park. The property, including Dhaemers' Minnesota driver's license and a small amount of money, were turned in to Phoenix police in June 2003. A woman's blouse and shoes also were found scattered nearby. Police searches have failed to find any further traces of Dhaemers.
