Details of Disappearance

Blue was last seen in Center, Texas on November 2, 2001. She was with Richard Sanders at the time of her disappearance. She has never been heard from again. The next day, police found a crime scene in rural Shelby County, Texas. They found evidence at the scene that indicated Blue had been murdered.

Sanders missing at the same Blue did and has never been located; a photograph of him is posted with this case summary. Richard's date of birth is September 12, 1976, making him 25 years old when he and Blue disappeared. He's described as white, 6'5 and 210 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Investigators stated that citizens who see Sanders should not approach him, as he is the prime suspect in Blue's disappearance.

Blue left behind a daughter. Her family held a memorial service for her in 2010, nine years after she vanished. Few details are available in her case.
