In the fourth season of the original Unsolved Mysteries, 20-year-old Angela Hammond went missing from Clinton, Missouri, while she was talking to her boyfriend, Rob Shafer, from a payphone. She told him that a suspicious truck was circling her and dropped the phone suddenly with a scream.

Shafer rushed to the payphone as soon as he heard the scream but damaged his car's engine while trying to reverse and follow the truck. He couldn't catch the truck, and hence, Angela was never found.
