Circumstances of Disappearance

Poe had two full-time jobs in 1990, one of which was at the Circle K convenience store near Hall Road and Aloma Avenue in Orlando, Florida. She worked the night shift at the time of her February 4, 1990 disappearance. Poe's boyfriend saw her inside the store at approximately 1:00 a.m. A friend who drove by the store at 3:00 a.m. saw her standing behind the counter.

At between 3:15 and 3:30 a.m., a witness in the vicinity reported seeing a young man with long black hair, wearing a black t-shirt with a Megadeth logo (with the image of dragon spitting fire) and a wire earring with a cross in his right ear. The unidentified man operated the cash register and cashed out customers, until he too disappeared.

Poe's store was discovered unoccupied at 4:00 a.m. A cup of coffee and a carton of chocolate milk were on the floor behind the counter. Her purse paycheck, and car keys were also found still locked inside her new red Toyota Celica, parked in the parking lot. Her Circle K smock was also found left inside the store. There was no sign of a struggle at the scene. She has never been heard from again.

At the time of her disappearance, a bloodhound picked up Poe's scent outside the convenience store. Orange County Sheriff's detectives said the trail ended on the pavement where authorities think she got into a car.
