The person at the center of this case
Sibylle Claus-Prange
Justice for Sibylle Claus-Prange — the trail went cold in 1991, but the truth hasn't.
Start here
Why was there a two-day gap between the last known contact on May 2 and the bank transaction on May 4? What happened during this time?
The couple stated they planned to go into the canyon on a trail and not leave—what specific trail were they planning to take and did they enter it?
What was the relationship status and condition of Eberhard (MP160129) at the time of disappearance, and what information did he provide to investigators?
Sibylle Claus-Prange, a 27-year-old German woman, disappeared in May 1991 shortly after arriving in the United States and marrying her husband Eberhard at Las Vegas. The couple had traveled from Germany through New York to Las Vegas, then to the Grand Canyon area where they were last known to be on May 2, 1991. Despite decades of investigation by the Coconino County Sheriff's Office, her fate remains unknown and any information about her whereabouts or what happened in the canyon is urgently needed.
