Reynolds was last seen on May 17, 1982 in Fort Smith, Arkansas. She had gone out to a local club. Sometime during the night she had returned her vehicle to her parents' home and left them a note stating she was staying with friends and would be home in time for work at 5:00 p.m. She never arrived and has never been heard from again. She took no belongings with her, except for her purse, when she disappeared.

Reynolds enjoyed the club scene and associated with band members in 1982. She has left home before, but always maintained contact with her family. They have not heard from her since her May 1982 disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.
