The disappearance of a Johns Hopkins University graduate student once gripped the region and became known as the “Route 29 Stalker” investigation, but 14 years later her case remains unsolved.

On March 2, 1996, Alicia Showalter Reynolds was driving home from school along Route 29 to Charlottesville to shop with her mother. She never made it. Several witnesses recalled seeing the 25-year-old and her car parked along Route 29, the hood of her car up and a blue truck parked behind it.
