The daughters of a woman who has been missing for over 45 years are determined to uncover the truth surrounding their mother’s disappearance as they approach the anniversary of the event. On November 6, 1980, Nancy Snow vanished after attending a private party in Baltimore, Maryland. At the time, her daughters—Stacy, Justine, and Kimberly—were just teenagers, grappling with the sudden and mysterious loss of their mother.
Nancy Snow, who worked for the Republican National Committee, was last seen the morning after the party, reportedly in the company of a man she had met during a political campaign. Her disappearance remains a cold case, with investigators baffled by the lack of evidence despite numerous leads and extensive searches. While the last confirmed sighting occurred in Baltimore, her family believes she disappeared after returning to her home in Annapolis.
In an effort to reignite interest in the case, the sisters have established a reward fund aimed at encouraging potential witnesses to come forward with information. “We hope there are still people out there who have some information,” said Stacy Snow, the eldest daughter and a business broker from Tampa Bay, Florida. She added, “Maybe this will motivate them after all these years to come forward.”
The reward fund is being supported by a GoFundMe campaign, which seeks to raise funds for anyone who can provide credible information leading to the identification of those responsible for Nancy’s disappearance or the recovery of her remains. The sisters are hopeful that renewed public attention will finally bring answers.
Kimberly Snow, a writer and innkeeper from the Pacific Northwest, expressed the emotional toll that her mother’s absence has had on their lives. “After nearly half a century, we still ache for the truth,” she said. “Closure for us is getting her back. I hope I can bring her home.”
The sisters recalled the profound impact of losing their mother during a critical time in their youth. Justine, an organic farmer and retired caterer, reflected on how the loss extinguished the joy in her life. “No child should ever have to imagine their mom murdered and discarded in the woods,” she stated. “She belongs to us. She needs to be returned to us.”
The early response from law enforcement has been a source of frustration for the family. Kimberly noted, “We’ve always felt that not enough was done early on. Valuable time was lost.” Although the case has since been taken over by dedicated investigators, leads have remained scarce, and progress has been hindered by limited resources.
Currently, the lead investigator, William Noel, who serves as a Corporal Detective with the Annapolis Police Department, confirmed that there are no new leads at this time. “We are revisiting prior steps to determine if we can generate new leads,” he stated, emphasizing the ongoing commitment to the case.
As the sisters share memories of their mother, they describe her as a compassionate and vibrant woman whose legacy continues to inspire them. Stacy highlighted Nancy’s involvement in philanthropic efforts, including the March of Dimes and the Special Olympics, noting that she even entertained the Kennedy family during her time in Brazil.
Despite the years of anguish, the sisters maintain hope that advancements in investigative techniques and renewed public interest may provide the breakthrough necessary to solve the case. “Closure would mean everything,” Kimberly said. “After all these years, that’s all we’ve ever wanted—to bring her home and finally find peace.”
The sisters’ campaign serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of unresolved loss and the relentless pursuit of truth in the face of uncertainty. As they continue their quest, they remain united in their hope for answers that will finally bring Nancy Snow home.
