Shirley Leona Sprang, a 61-year-old woman from Two Rivers, Wisconsin, was last seen on December 19, 1996, when she had contact with law enforcement in Lincoln, Nebraska. This was the last known sighting of her, and there has been no trace of her since. Shirley had originally left her home in Two Rivers on June 16, 1990, following an argument with her mother, and had taken a taxi. Her family has had no contact with her since that day.
Shirley was described as a white woman, standing between 5'0" and 5'7", weighing 120 to 160 pounds, with blonde or strawberry-colored hair and blue eyes. She may have had scarring on her arms due to psoriasis. Despite efforts by law enforcement, including the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department, few details about her whereabouts have emerged, and her case remains unsolved.
Authorities continue to investigate, and anyone with information about Shirley's disappearance is encouraged to contact the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office. Her case is registered with NamUs and other missing person databases, but no significant leads have surfaced over the years. Shirley would be 86 years old today.Last Seen: Dec 19, 1996
