There has been no sign of April Grisanti since the night of Feb. 1, 1985 and Norwalk police continue to search for answers to solve the 38-year-old case.

Police said Grisanti was last seen leaving Anthony’s Bar on Main Street at 12:15 a.m. that morning and her ex-boyfriend, James "Purple" Aaron, forced her into his vehicle and headed north on Main Street. She has not been seen since.
