Woman Who Believed The Government Wanted Her Dead Goes Missing
Star Palumbo had been acting paranoid before her disappearance in 2000.
Just after midnight on April 26, 2000, a woman was seen roaming around a restricted area of the Reno-Tahoe International Airport in Reno, Nevada. An airport officer went looking for her and found the woman cowering behind a truck.
She said her name was Star Palumbo and that she was looking for her younger sister who was running around the tarmac. He did not believe her. She seemed to be hallucinating but did not pose a danger, according to the officer. He dropped Star off at the nearby Reno Hilton Hotel and Casino at 1:30 AM.
Star was seen entering the hotel but she didn’t check in. She was never heard from again.
The next day, Star’s car was found illegally parked at the airport. Her cell phone and purse, with $600 in it, were inside. There were also three copies of emails she had sent to the White House. Apparently, she believed the federal government was trying to kill her. Also inside the car was a drawing of a bound and gagged woman fitting her description. Moreover, there were two books on how to change one’s identity.
