She has never been heard from again. Lordi's personal belongings, including her purse and clothing, were found inside her apartment after she vanished. Lordi frequented the Independence Avenue northeast area of Kansas City in 1997. Her mother stated she associated with prostitutes on Independence Avenue, although she had no criminal record for prostitution-related offenses. She received a disability benefit check every month which was delivered to her mother's home, but she has not picked it up since her disappearance. Her disappearance is believed to be related to the disappearances and murders of several other local women who were involved in prostitution and drugs. The other missing women include Jamie Pankey and Connie Williams; both of them disappeared from Kansas City in 1996 and were never found. Several other women were murdered and their bodies dumped in the Missouri River; their cases are believed to be connected to Lordi, Williams and Pankey's.

A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
