Ruth was last seen on the night of May 4 by some of her Tri-Delta sorority sisters shortly before 11:00 PM. She had just returned to her dorm, Austin Hall, after choir practice and changed into her pajamas. She had her hair in curlers and seemed like her ordinary, happy self. The other girls would later recall that she didn’t seem to be under any kind of strain or stress...but she was never seen again.
