Kelly Bergh Dove Gone Without a Trace

2:27 am on June 18, 1982, Martha Yankee a 911 dispatcher received a call from the Imperial Gas Station on south main street in Harrisonburg, Va. 

The young lady calling was 20 year old Kelly Bergh Dove who was working the night shift alone at the gas station.

When Officer Sam Yankee arrived she was gone without a trace. Her cigarette was in the ashtray burned down to the butt, the magazine she was reading was still open on the counter as well as her pack of marlboro lights with a $5 bill inside. It was like she just walked away! Literally minutes from officer yankee being dispatched to the gas station, there was no sign of Kelly. 

The last 911 call would be the last time anyone ever talked to Kelly.
