Abbrederis was last seen in Dallas, Texas on April 2, 1996. She left behind her vehicle, clothes, luggage, car keys and other personal belongings, and left her dog unattended inside her apartment. There was laundry left in the washing machine and piled on Abbrederis's bed, which her mother regarded as uncharacteristic of her daughter. Red fingerprints near the front door turned out to be paint rather than blood. Abbrederis has never been heard from again.

Abbrederis’s boyfriend withdrew money from her savings account, signed over one of her cars to himself, and emptied their joint checking account after her disappearance. He told police he jointly owned all he took. Investigators do not believe his actions necessarily make him a suspect in her case.

At the time of her disappearance, Abbrederis was an exotic danger in various Dallas clubs. She has a history of prostitution. Abbreder is previously served in the Army. Some of her family members live in Michigan and Hong Kong. Her case remains unsolved and foul play is suspected.
