Bountiful » Sarah Ann Norfleet disappeared from Bountiful in 1993 at age 18. Stephen L. Hughes hasn't been seen since his truck was abandoned at his business in 1986. Fifteen-year-old Shelby Marie Glasgow-Simpson left home in May 2008 but may have been recently seen in Layton.

While much of the state's attention has been focused on missing West Valley City wife and mother Susan Powell, a state Web site lists about 55 Utahns as missing. Four of them disappeared in Davis County.

Bountiful police Sgt. Ed Biehler, who was assigned the Norfleet case about a year ago, said he is actively investigating it, adding, "I don't think it's a missing-person case."

Too much is suspicious, he said. Norfleet did not take any belongings. She was close to friends and family. No one had any hint she was leaving. Because of those reasons, Biehler believes she is not alive.

Norfleet was last seen in June 1993 when the father of a friend picked up his daughter and Norfleet at Bountiful's recreation center and dropped Norfleet off at her home.

One of the things that has complicated the investigation is no one is sure when she disappeared. Her family did not report her missing until September 1993.

Biehler explained it was not unusual for Norfleet to leave for a day or two and her mother assumed she had run away again. Norfleet's father was away for National Guard training, Biehler said, and when he came home, the parents called the police.

The lone suspect has been Richard L. Sattler, who worked as a janitor at Bountiful Community Church and quit that job about the time of Norfleet's disappearance.

In October 1993, Sattler was in a Las Vegas jail on suspicion of kidnapping and robbery in an unrelated case. Bountiful police visited him there but he said he knew nothing about her disappearance, according to news reports at the time.

Biehler said he wants to interview Sattler again but has been unable to find him. Biehler has re-interviewed Norfleet's friends and family and submitted her dental and DNA records into national databases.

The Norfleet case "sat for a little while, but I think all cold cases do," Biehler said. Her family declined to comment. The other missing-person cases in Davis County are the following:

» Shelby Marie Glasgow-Simpson was 15 years old when she left home on May 23, 2008. Glasgow-Simpson is white, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 125 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. She has scars on her back and right hip in the shape of cigarette burns and has Duane syndrome in her left eye, which limits the eye's mobility. Layton Lt. Quinn Moyes said the department believes she ran away. She was last reported seen in Layton on Dec. 21, 2009. Anyone with information in the case can contact Layton police at 801-497-8300.

» Stephen L. Hughes was 46 when he went missing Jan. 13, 1986. Hughes is described as white, 5 feet 11 inches tall and 185 pounds, with blonde hair and green eyes. His truck was found abandoned at his business in Bountiful. He was last seen wearing a baseball cap and a red plaid shirt. Hughes had heart problems and may be in need of medical attention. Biehler said one angle of investigation has been Hughes' relationships with multiple women, some of whom were married. Anyone with information about Hughes or Norfleet can contact Bountiful police at 801-298-6000.

» Teresa Greaves was 23 when she was last seen Aug. 5, 1983. Greaves is described as white, 5 feet 4 inches tall, 160 pounds, with brown hair and eyes. Greaves lived at a trailer park that was then near 900 W. 500 South in Woods Cross and was last seen leaving for a job interview on Aug. 5, 1983. She spoke with a friend by telephone in Salt Lake City at noon.
