Virginia state police called Tuesday for new information in the abduction and murder of a woman who disappeared 20 years ago on Wednesday.

The state police said they still hoped to solve the case of Alicia Showalter Reynolds,a 25-year-old graduate student, who disappeared on March 2, 1996, while driving from Baltimore to Charlottesville.

Her car was found later on that day after being abandoned in Culpeper County, Va. Her remains were found two months later in a field that had just been cleared of trees in the rural commuity of Lignum, Va.

Witnesses said they had seen a white man stopped near her vehicle on Route 29 on the day of her disappearance, according to police.

Later the police heard from other females who said a white male had either stopped them or tried to do so as they drove on Route 29 in Culpeper County.

Police said that they have pursued more than 10,000 leads over 20 years, and still receive tips and information connected to the disappearance.

In a statement issued in connection with Wednesday’s anniversary, police said they are encouraging the public to offer any information that could bear on the investigation.

They can contact the Virginia State Police Culpeper Division toll-free at 1-800-572-2260, or the Bureau of Criminal Investigation toll-free at 1-888-300-0156 or by email at bci-culpeper@vsp.virginia.gov
