Route Teresa would've likely taken to get to the Restaurant

Roxie's Airport Restaurant: Located at 10130 IN-37, Elwood, IN 46036

Details Of Disappearance:

24 Year Old Teresa Lynn Lawyer-Wisner left her home at 7116 W. 8th Street in Anderson in her 4 Door Grey Toyota. Teresa experienced a flat tire not long after leaving. Teresa left her car on SR 37 & was given a ride to Roxie's Airport Restaurant in Elwood. A witness saw Teresa make a phone call & minutes later saw her leaving with someone at around 10pm. 2 Elwood men reported a woman matching Teresa's description walking down SR 37 at around 10:30. They reported seeing a car, Similar to the Toyota owned by the couple, Drive up alongside her. A man inside shouted obscenities at her and then drove away. The same 2 men later identified the Toyota owned by the couple as the same one they saw in the altercation by the sound of the muffler. Teresa was pursuing a divorce and had met with an attorney the day before. Teresa has not been seen nor heard from since the night of the 24th of May 1990.

Bullet Points

Apparently Teresa voiced her dissatisfaction to her parents regarding her marriage prior to her disappearance.
Wilma Lawyer said James Wisner talked to them about Teresa's behavior prior to May and asked her and Sonny to persuade Teresa to reconsider the decision to divorce him.
Madison County Police Detective Bob Blount said he has talked with the Lawyers several times and suspects homicide after receiving a letter addressed to the couple. The letter reported Wisner's fear that she was in danger and named the source of her suspected danger.
According to Detective Bob Blount a "Foul Oder was reported at Wisner's home 2 days after wife disappeared." And a Search Warrant was obtained on 4/21/91.
Wilma and Sonny later went through the legal system to obtain visitation rights for Jimmy.
Brother in Law later found Teresa's car abandoned with a nail through the tire.

MY THOUGHTS

Not a lot to go on with this case since there is so little online to find. Tried reaching out to her son Jimmy as well as his wife via Facebook. Never received a response. I agree its obviously a homicide. I doubt the mom would willingly just leave and never contact the son. The report of her walking down State Road 37 is very telling if we can believe that it was her. I believe it was. James L. Wisner's brother found the car and a search warrant was issued from the Anderson Police Department for James L. Wisner's residence. Its clear where the investigators were going with the investigation. And Detective Bob Blount stated he suspected homicide. No body and no other evidence shows why this investigation is cold.
