I recently stumbled across Ruth Foster's case while going down a true crime rabbit hole, and one detail that really stands out is the timing of her disappearance. She was last seen just after 10 p.m., but then her car turns up in a completely different location soon after. It makes me wonder if there was any surveillance footage from the Holiday Inn back in '96, or maybe from traffic cameras nearby. I know it's a long shot given the time period, but revisiting any possible surveillance or witness accounts from that area could provide some new insights. If anyone local remembers anything about that night or the area, it might be worth reaching out to the police. Sometimes the smallest details can make a world of difference in an unsolved case like this.
Has anyone here looked into the Holiday Inn where Ruth Foster's car was found? I know it's a long shot since it was so long ago, but I wonder if there might have been any guests or employees who saw something back in 1996. Maybe there are records or memories that haven't been tapped into yet. Also, what about surveillance footage from back then? Was it common for hotels to have cameras in their parking lots in the mid-'90s? It seems strange that no one reported noticing an abandoned car if it was sitting there for a while. Just thinking about any overlooked angles that might shed a light on the case!
Does anyone remember the incident where those bones were found in a cornfield near Canton not long after Ruth Foster went missing? Such a rollercoaster of emotions when they turned out not to be hers. For a moment, it seemed like there might be a break in the case. It makes me wonder: were there any other areas thoroughly searched around the time or did all the focus just go to that cornfield when bones were found? It must have been so disappointing for her family to have hopes raised only to find out it wasn't connected at all. Decades later, we're all still searching for answers. If anyone in the community recalls anything or has any new insights, please reach out. Every bit of information could help push this closer to closure.
