Summary

Part 2 of 2. In late September 1983, 17-year-old Bambi Dick and friends attended a heavy metal concert at Davenport, Iowa’s Col Ballroom. Stories about what happened after, perhaps, are conflicting, but whatever the case, Bambi vanished. For more than a quarter century, her family looked for her. At some point, her parents expected her to come waltzing through the front door with a couple kids and a husband. But they also knew she had no reason to run away and had never tried to run away before. Years after the disappearance, Bambi’s brother began looking on the internet and realized he needed to post his sister’s information to missing persons websites. He did just that in 2009, and within days, an internet sleuth made a connection between Bambi’s Iowa disappearance and a Jane Doe in Amarillo, Texas.

If you have any information about the murder of Bambi Lynn Dick, please call the Amarillo / Potter / Randall Special Crimes Unit at 806-378-4268.

If you’d like more information about Dr. Ralph Erdmann and why some of his determinations in this case should not necessarily be taken as gospel check out our episodes titled: Debra Mackey Part 1: Plainview Jane Doe & Part 2: The Criminal Pathologist from September 2023.
