The Disappearance of Elizabeth Prescott

 

Elizabeth Prescott has been missing since April 30th, 2004. The then-19-year-old was last seen at her residence in Panama City, Florida. Elizabeth's husband, Coy Prescott, said that he saw her at the apartment shortly before he left for work at 6:00 AM. When he returned around 4:00 PM that afternoon, Elizabeth was gone. She has never been seen or heard from again. 

According to Coy, nothing appeared unusual in the residence when he returned home. There were reportedly no signs of a struggle in the apartment. A wet towel was in the bathroom, which indicated the shower had recently been used. Nothing was missing from the residence except $50 cash. All of Elizabeth's personal items were left behind as well.

Elizabeth did not tell Coy or anyone else about any plans she had to leave or go anywhere that day. She did have plans to celebrate her husband's birthday, which was the day after she disappeared. In fact, Elizabeth reportedly asked Coy to call her an hour before his workday ended so she could finish preparing for his birthday celebration. Reports note that Coy called the home around 2:30 PM, but the call went unanswered.

Elizabeth and Coy had only been married for about 2 months before she vanished. Prior to that, Elizabeth had a long-term relationship with another man named Eric Moore. Eric later told police that he and Elizabeth continued to see each other even after she married Coy. There has been inevitable speculation that one of these men might be responsible for Elizabeth's disappearance. Neither man has been ruled out; however, they have both passed polygraph exams. 

An incarcerated man named Ivan Ferrer-Perdomo later bragged to inmates that he killed Elizabeth after she showed up at his home looking for drugs. When investigators questioned him about this, he reportedly refused to cooperate. Still, investigators have been unable to find any link between him and Elizabeth. 

Elizabeth did not have access to a vehicle at the time of her disappearance. She also did not have a cell phone or any credit cards. Elizabeth is described as a petite woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she was approximately 5'2" and 110 lbs.
