In the early morning hours of August 11, 2018, Janet Denise Hamner was seen at Mack's Travel Plaza, also known as Moe's Travel Plaza, on Highway 82 in Elrod, Alabama. Surveillance footage from the travel plaza captured her leaving the parking lot on foot and alone after she had placed some machine games inside the establishment. At the time of her disappearance, Janet was 59 years old and lived with her elderly mother.
She was known to be close to her nieces, whom she had helped raise after their mother passed away when they were young. Her sudden and uncharacteristic departure without any warning has been a source of deep concern for her loved ones.
Janet was last seen walking westbound on US-82 in Tuscaloosa County, heading toward the Pickens County line. She was wearing a white top, black shorts, and a black and white hound's-tooth head scarf. Janet is a white female with graying brown hair and green eyes, and her ears are pierced. She is 5'3' tall and weighs around 200 pounds. It has been noted that she may use the name Janet Hamner Evans. The Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office is the investigating agency for her case.
Years have passed since Janet Hamner was last seen, and her case remains unsolved. The Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office has continued to ask for any information regarding her disappearance. The circumstances surrounding her vanishing are still unclear, and there has been no contact from her since that August morning. The lack of resolution in her case is a heavy burden for her family and community. This overview of Janet Hamner's case reflects the available information and the ongoing search for answers in the hope that she will one day be found.Last Seen: Aug 12, 2018
