The daughters of a woman missing for more than four decades are uniting in a renewed effort to uncover the truth behind their mother’s disappearance. On November 6, 1980, Nancy Snow vanished under mysterious circumstances after attending a private party in Baltimore, Maryland. Her daughters, Stacy, Justine, and Kimberly, were teenagers at the time and have been committed to solving this cold case ever since.
Nancy, who was associated with the Republican National Committee, was last seen with a man she had met during a political campaign. Despite being spotted the next morning, she disappeared shortly thereafter. Investigators believe she likely returned to her home in Annapolis, but no trace of her has been found, even after extensive investigations that included DNA comparisons and witness outreach.
The case remains a focal point in true crime discussions, highlighting the perplexing circumstances surrounding Nancy’s disappearance and the ongoing search for answers. Her daughters continue to fear that the person or persons responsible may still pose a threat to others.
In a bid to encourage potential witnesses to come forward, the sisters recently announced a reward fund. Stacy Snow, the eldest daughter, expressed her hopes that the fund might motivate individuals with information to speak up, stating, “Maybe this will motivate them after all these years to come forward.” The sisters established a GoFundMe campaign to support this effort, offering cash rewards for relevant information leading to the arrest of those responsible for Nancy’s disappearance or the recovery of her remains.
Kimberly Snow, a writer and innkeeper, shared the emotional toll of their long search for answers. “After nearly half a century, we still ache for the truth,” she said. “Closure for us is getting her back.” The sisters described their mother as a compassionate and vibrant woman, whose absence has left a profound void in their lives.
They recall the difficult experience of navigating the investigation at such young ages. Justine, an organic farmer and retired caterer, lamented, “The joy in my life was extinguished. No child should ever have to imagine their mom murdered and discarded in the woods.”
Frustration with the initial law enforcement response has also marked their journey. Kimberly noted, “We’ve always felt that not enough was done early on. Valuable time was lost.” Although the case was eventually reassigned to dedicated investigators, progress has been slow with limited leads.
The current lead investigator, William Noel, a Corporal Detective with the Annapolis Police Department, stated, “Currently, there are no new leads. We’re just in the process of revisiting prior steps to determine if we can generate new leads.”
Despite the decades of uncertainty, the sisters remain hopeful that renewed public attention and advancements in investigative techniques might finally yield the answers they seek. “Closure would mean everything,” Kimberly emphasized. “It would be the greatest relief imaginable—to know what happened and to be able to lay her to rest.”
As the anniversary of Nancy’s disappearance approaches, her daughters continue to advocate for justice, demonstrating their enduring love and determination to bring their mother home.
