Challis, Idaho was idyllic. In 1993, it was the type of small town where everyone knew each other and kept their doors unlocked. The children played outside and only came home when it was time for dinner. Nothing can last forever though, and on October 11, 1993, everything in the small town changed forever.

On that day, 9-year-old Stephanie Crane said goodbye to her friends at a bowling alley and vanished. Stephanie’s disappearance was incomprehensible to her family and the residents of the tight-knit town. In fact, her disappearance would have lasting effects on everyone who lived in Challis and would be just the first of many tragedies that struck the Crane family.

There is a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for Stephanie’s disappearance. If you think you have information about Stephanie, call the Custer County Sheriff's Office at (208) 879-2232 or you can call the Custer County Sheriff tip line at (208) 879-5372 and leave a message. You can also contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-842-5678).

Hay una recompensa de $50,000 por información que conduzca al arresto y condena de la persona responsable de la desaparición de Stephanie.
