Edith Gertrude Hillman, a 59-year-old woman, was last seen in Leakesville, Mississippi, on August 23, 1987. Authorities believe she was abducted from her home on a Sunday afternoon. Her son had dinner with her that evening before he left for college. When he returned the following Friday, he found the dinner from Sunday still on the stove. Hillman, who was scheduled to start a new job that Monday, never arrived.
The circumstances surrounding her disappearance point to foul play.
In October 1987, her blue 1979 Toyota Corolla was discovered in the parking lot of Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Inside the backseat of the vehicle, investigators found blood evidence. While some reports indicate the date of her disappearance could be as late as September 5, 1987, the scene at her home and the subsequent discovery of her car led authorities to believe she was taken against her will.
At the time of her disappearance, Edith Hillman was described as a 6-foot-tall Caucasian female, weighing between 160 and 170 pounds, with blonde or strawberry-blonde hair and brown eyes. She had a C-section scar and spoke with a German accent. The Greene County Sheriff's Office is the investigating agency for her case, which remains unsolved.Last Seen: Aug 23, 1987
