A 79-Year-Old Indiana Woman Was Visiting Her Brother's Grave When She Was Abducted. She Was Never Seen Again.

Nearly 30 years ago, 79-year-old Eva Hale was visiting her brother’s grave when someone snatched her. She hasn’t been seen since.

Hale was at the Marco Cemetery in Green County, Indiana, when authorities believed she was abducted on Oct. 15, 1996, according to Indiana State Police.

Later that evening, police found her vehicle at the cemetery. Now, decades later, it is likely she has died, but police are still searching for answers to what happened to her.

The woman's purse was in the cemetery and a spare set of keys was on the ground, according to the Bloomington Herald-Times in 2014. Her family searched but never got any answers.

Hale’s son, Guy Hale, told the paper about the aftermath of her disappearance.

“I immediately got my wife and my kids, and we headed down there and talked to the police. They brought in helicopters that night to search. We didn’t know what could have happened to her,” Guy Hale told the Herald-Times.

Other women went missing around the same time. Some cases, like Hale's, are now cold cases.

In July 1996, an 88-year-old woman was found drowned in a Sullivan County, Indiana creek. And in 1994, a 33-year-old woman disappeared, and her body was later located. She had been shot to death.

Investigators have gotten tips in Hale’s case, but none have led to answers. Investigators are still trying to figure out what happened to Hale and the other women. Anyone with information on Hale’s case is urged to contact Indiana State Police at (812) 332-4411.

Guy Hale has said even without his mother’s remains the family keeps a gravestone for her next to her husband, according to the Herald-Times. Her headstone includes her birthday, but after that, the stone remains blank.

“We put her name on the stone with dad’s name, and her date of birth,” Guy Hale told the newspaper. “But I don’t know what to do about the date she died. We just left it blank.”
