BOISE, Idaho — Boise Police on Wednesday revealed officers are looking for a Camaro that could be connected to the disappearance of Krystyn Dunlap-Bosse, a Boise woman who was reported missing in 1994.
The newly-released information comes less than a month after her family members, police and the community conducted a ground search near Pleasant Valley Road to look for her remains. Dunlap-Bosse was 17 years old when she disappeared on Oct. 14, 1994, after telling people she needed to "get away."
Police said the 1989 Z28 Camaro was grey – its original color – at the time she disappeared, but "it may be a different color now." The vin number is 1G1FP21E3KL147418.
The Camaro's last known location was Sun Valley, Nevada, roughly 20 years ago. Wednesday's news release said detectives have tracked the vehicle as it has been sold and given away "multiple times" since the year of Dunlap-Bosse's disappearance.
“Even though it’s been decades, we have reason to believe that this Z28 Camaro could be the evidence we need to help solve what happened to Krystyn and find justice for her and her family,” Boise Police Sgt. Justin Kendall said. “We are looking for any information that will help us figure out what happened to this vehicle and where it might be now.”

“We are asking people to spread the word that we are looking for this car. If you have a friend or neighbor with an old Camaro on their property, ask about it, check the VIN,” Kendall said. “Please check old salvage yards, hobby/part shops, etc. It’s possible that as of about 2000, it was no longer running and was being used as a parts car, potentially ending up in the amateur car racing/car building circuit. We know it’s a long shot, but we would really like to find this car.”
