Chalice Paul-DISAPPEARED: the True Story
Welcome to Chalice Paul: Disappeared-the True Story. Chalice Paul, born Chalice Alford on August 31, 1947, was 33 years old when she went missing in the summer of 1981 and is most likely dead. She was presumably last seen in the Florida Keys with her second husband John Paul Sr., the infamous race car driver and convicted drug smuggler of the late 70’s and early 80’s. Through interviews with friends and family of Chalice, as well as those that had associations with John Paul Sr., I hope to shed light on her tragically short life, and finally discover the truth.
