Circumstances of Disappearance
Webb left a nightclubon North Grandview Avenue, in Daytona Beach, Florida around midnight on January 22, 1983. She and a friend walked to their separate cars together; her friend then left the area and Webb has never been seen again.
Her vehicle was located later in the day on Grandview and Seabreeze Avenues, which was where Webb parked the car initially. Her purse was found inside the vehicle along with her driver's license, glasses, a few dollars, but there was no sign of a struggle and no trace of Webb herself. The only thing missing was the keys to her car.
Webb was an assistant manager of Chick-fil-A fast food restaurant, and a student at Daytona Beach Community College, when she disappeared.
Darlene Webb had always been responsible. A singer in the church choir, she lived at home after graduating high school and wasn't into drugs or the party scene. She always called if she would be late or sleeping at a friend's house.
