The Cedar Rapids Gazette, June 1, 2009
The [then] 15-year-old was last seen at a friend’s home in the 100 block of 12th Street SE on late Sunday, June 3, 2001, getting into a dark-colored Chevrolet Cavalier with tinted rear windows. Friends said they didn’t recognize the car, but that Erin seemed to know the people inside and went with them willingly.
According to “Curtis” — a friend of Erin’s older brother — he was leaving the Pospisil home at the same time as Erin and agreed to give her a ride to her friend Brit’s home, where Erin and Brit planned to watch movies or go to the movie theater.
When they arrived at Brit’s house at 8:45 p.m., no one answered the door. As Erin walked back to Curtis’s truck, a dark-colored Chevrolet Cavalier with tinted rear windows pulled up to the curb. Erin went up to the car and had a short conversation with someone in the vehicle. She then told Curtis, “These guys will give me a ride,” and got into the Cavalier’s back seat.
No one has seen nor heard from her since.

Erin Pospisil age-progressed to how she might look at age 23.
Erin — a freshman at Metro High School — lived with her father and stepmother, Jim and Carolyn Pospisil, and three siblings when she disappeared. The family distributed fliers and posted billboards with Erin’s photo and description, to no effect beyond a few tips that proved unfounded.
Erin has a small scar above one eye and had red highlights in her hair at the time she disappeared. She was last seen wearing a light-colored tank top and beige overall shorts.
If you have any information concerning this case please contact the Cedar Rapids Police Department at 319-286-5400 or 319-286-5491.
