She got home, left a movie in the VCR and vanished. Decades later, police haven’t given up on the search for Carla Anderson

A new $25,000 reward has been announced, and Wadena police say they believe someone in the community knows what happened to Carla Anderson.
Carla disappeared in November 1987 from her locked apartment—movie still in the VCR and her purse missing—with no obvious signs of a break‑in or struggle.
Her family and the town have spent decades haunted but hopeful, holding onto memories and pushing for answers as investigators revisit old and new leads.
