28 years since Stephanie Crane’s disappearance

CUSTER COUNTY, Idaho (KIFI) - It's been 28 years since Sandi Crane walked into the Custer County Sheriffs on Oct. 11, 1993, to report she could not find her nine-year-old daughter Stephanie.

Stephanie had just celebrated her 9th birthday on September 28, 1993, and this year she would be celebrating her 37th birthday.

She was last seen walking towards the Challis High School in 1993.

Stephanie had been bowling at Challis Lanes Bowling Alley, and the school is right across the street.

Accounts differ as to whether Stephanie was going to the high school to watch soccer practice or heading home.

Her mom reported her missing a few hours later.

Stephanie has not been seen or heard from since. A search at the time turned up no evidence.
