Rhonda Smith went missing from the Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta, Georgia on February 27, 1984. She was 21 years old at the time of her disappearance. Rhonda was a former exotic dancer and was preparing to open her own dog grooming business.

Rhonda left her house on the morning of February 27. She was going to the gym and had plans to go shopping at the Lenox Square Mall afterward. Rhonda’s fiancee, Tom Shoemaker, started to get concerned when she did not return to their home that evening. Her car was later found abandoned in the mall parking lot in the early hours of February 28.
