Larrow was last seen sometime in June 1981. She had recently moved from her father's home on Eggert Road in Dundee, Michigan to her mother's residence on Beaufort Drive in Canton. She was in Canton for only about a week when she vanished. She was last seen at the ice cream parlor on Ann Arbor Road. Larrow's best friend worked there and the girls made plans to meet in a park that night. She never arrived at the park and has never been heard from again.

Larrow's loved ones describe her as a rebellious teenager who used drugs and frequently ran away, but they stated there were no major issues in her life. Much of her family lived in the Ida, Michigan area, and she spent every weekend with an aunt there. Larrow's father died in 2005, but other relatives are still looking for her. She had no driver's license or Social Security number at the time of her disappearance. Her disappearance is considered a missing person case rather than a crime, as there is no evidence of foul play.
