Shelley Ann Werner:1980, Mishawaka, Indiana

Image
    Shelley Ann Werner was born on July 4th, 1964 in Mishawaka, Indiana.    Shelley’s Mom was a teacher at Merritt Elementary in Niles, Michigan but the family lived in Mishawaka, Indiana. The Indiana-Michigan border area there is often called Michiana.    Shelley Ann Werner was 16 in the Summer of 1980. Her 17th birthday was coming up. She drove a little orange Volkswagen. She was looking forward to fun in the summer and school in the fall. She was very active in the band and various sports at Mishawaka High School.    Some of the most popular songs at the time were “Funky Town” by Lipps Inc., “Coming Up” by Paul McCartney and “Call Me” by Blondie. I keep imagining her driving around with "Funky Town" playing on the radio.  Former site of Wilt's on Lincoln Way.    Shelley stopped by Wilt’s supermarket at 2800 Lincoln Way East in Mishawaka on June 16th,1980. She had parked about 50 feet from the store entra...

Annette Stewart:1982, Cleveland, Ohio-Snow Shoe, Pennsylvania

Image
       Annette Stewart was born about 1964. I wasn’t able to find her exact date of birth or much about her early years.    In 1982 she was a senior at West Technical High School in Cleveland. Her mother was Ethel Stewart and her grandmother was Mary T. Lane   There was some confusion about her name in 1983. Newspaper articles from Pennsylvania in 1983 when she was found call her Annette Steward.   A recent January 2026 online article mentions that the Pennsylvania State Police are looking for more information about her.   On November 4th, 1982, Annette left the house early to catch the bus to high school. She wore Calvin Klein Jeans, a thick, warm sweater, a gold Seiko watch, a gold necklace and small gold earrings. She would have looked fashionable and stylish. That was a very typical high school outfit in 1982. (I remember desperately wanting Calvin Klein jeans because of the very successful ad campaign starring ...

Elaine Richardson:1979, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Image
       Elaine Richardson was born in 1956. Her mother was Sondra Lane. Elaine was the oldest child and had two younger brothers and two younger sisters. Elaine was a graduate of Overbrook High School.   Elaine Richardson was a student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1979. She lived at 1840 North 54th Street Wynnefield.  Elaine Richardson's street.   (If you’re not from Pennsylvania or nearby and you hear Indiana University you probably think that this college is in Bloomington, Indiana. Well, the state of Indiana has an Indiana University but so does the state of Pennsylvania. They are not the same place. They aren’t interconnected. They simply have the same name. It is confusing. To make it more confusing the one in Pennsylvania is in the town of…Indiana, Pennsylvania. We apologize for any confusion.)   On Monday, April 16th, 1979, 22 year old Elaine Richardson was last seen getting on a city bus in Philadelphia to go...
