Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP83673) and 10 other sources
On April 12, 2012, 55-year-old Brenda Kay Wallace was last seen at her home in Martinsville, Indiana. Her disappearance was discovered when she left a note for her family, stating she had gone to Ohio to live and work. In the note, Brenda mentioned that she would send for her truck when she was able to and that her family could do as they wished with the rest of her belongings. She departed with a red backpack, a blue backpack, a set of floral-print luggage, and her small female Shih Tzu dog. Since the day she left, there has been no contact with her family or friends.

Brenda was a 1974 graduate of Martinsville High School and had previously been employed at Harman Becker before its closure. At the time of her disappearance, she did not have a cell phone or a bank account. This lack of a digital footprint has made tracing her movements incredibly difficult for investigators. The Morgan County Sheriff's Office is handling her case, but there have been few leads or details available to the public over the years. Her case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on August 26, 2021.

The circumstances surrounding Brenda Wallace's disappearance remain a mystery. While she left a note indicating her intentions to start a new life in Ohio, the complete silence since her departure is a source of great concern. The fact that she took her beloved dog, Nicky, along with several bags, suggests a planned departure. However, the lack of any subsequent communication has left her family with unanswered questions and a sense of unresolved loss. The investigation into her whereabouts continues, with law enforcement and her loved ones still hoping for information that might shed light on what happened to her after she left her Indiana home.
