Stroh was last seen on October 15, 1987 at the Four Way Cafe and Truck Stop in Wells, Nevada. She has never been heard from again. She was a college student at the time of her disappearance.

The convicted murderer Tommy Lynn Sells has confessed to Stroh's murder. He said he picked her up while she was hitchhiking across the country and offered her a ride to Reno, Nevada. They took lysergic acid diamethylide (LSD) together, then he strangled her, put her body in concrete, and dumped it in a hot spring. However, Sells was never charged in connection with Stroh's case and police believe his claims about his criminal activities are exaggerated. He is also considered a possible suspect in the disappearances of Lauria Bible and Ashley Freeman from Oklahoma and the disappearance of Juanita Bardin from Texas, but has not been charged in any of the cases. He has been convicted of murdering two Texas girls.

Stroh's case remains unsolved. She is considered to be missing under suspicious circumstances and foul play is suspected in her case.
