Erin Popisil, missing from Iowa years before Mollie Tibbetts

Erin Pospisil
The evening of Sunday, June 3, 2001, she left home at around 8:45 pm to go to a friend’s house in the 100 block of 12th Street southeast.
She got a ride over to the friend's house by Curtis, a friend of Erin’s older brother.
Her friend wasn't home.
As Erin was walking back to Curtis’ truck, a dark colored two-door Chevrolet Cavalier or Impala, with tinted rear windows car pulled up to the curb. 
Erin went up to the car and had a short conversation with someone in the car. 
She told Curtis, “These guys will give me a ride.” Erin got in the back seat. 
No one has seen or heard from her since
She was 15 at the time.

On June 6, 2001 Erin was reported missing to the Cedar Rapids Police Department.
Police classified her case as a runaway, because witnesses stated that it seemed like she knew the people she went in the car with.
Erin's family believes she may have been taken against her will and may be in danger. 

She didn't take her makeup, or any personal belongings with her.
None of her friends have heard from her since.

The investigation into Erin's disappearance leans towards the theory that gang members in Cedar Rapids and an area of Chicago, Illinois called "ghost town" may have involved in her case.

One sighting came in the spring of 2002. 
Erin was spotted at a convenience store in Cedar Rapids. She was riding in the back seat of a car with Illinois license plates. 
This tip was provided to Cedar Rapids Police, however the car was not found. 
The sighting was never verified.
The person who sighted her knows her well and is still convinced that it was her.

Erin has relatives in Nevada but none of them have heard from her. She lived with her father, stepmother and three siblings when she disappeared, and was a freshman at Metro High School.
