I recently did some videos on these two unresolved mysteries. While both women were found, they still don't know who committed these crimes. Both women mysteriously disappeared after traveling in their cars alone. Then their bodies were found in a similar circumstance, both in rain ditches (although one was dried up by the time they found Dana Stidham). Both occurred in Arkansas as well.
People are speculating that there might be a possible serial killer in Arkansas since these two crimes have a lot in common. I will link some sources below.
Dana Stidham- (links to my video if you click on the name)
1989- 18 y/o recently graduated living with her brother and working at a grocery store. She was still trying to figure out her life. Lived in NW Arkansas, and one day went to pick up medication for her father. She did reach the store but never made it back home. The next day her car was found abandoned on a highway that her parents had checked the night before. She was described as responsible and reliable and wasn't in any trouble at the time or ever. Her body was eventually found by a hunter in the woods. Although badly decomposed they were able to find some possible wounds but her cause of death is unknown.

2000 - Young woman just starting her life, and recently engaged. Was visiting her fiancee in another town and decided to drive back home late at night. They realized after a few hours that she had never made it back and went out looking for her. They found her car abandoned under a streetlight with a can of coke that was not there when she had left her fiancees house. Again she wasn't in any trouble at the time and was known as a very kind young woman. Eventually her body was found in a rain soaked ditch a few miles away from where her car was found.
Both women were thought to have been taken by someone they knew, or an authority figure because police couldn't find any signs of struggle at the scene.
For more detailed information I will link my videos and links to more information on the cases.
- Do you think there could be a potential for a serial killer or this is just a coincidence? I've also covered quite a few more cases where young woman have mysteriously went missing from their abandon cars which I think is very odd. It seems to be happening a lot, and any theories regarding this would be interesting to hear.
