Missing Women Get National Attention
LEBANON, Ohio -- More than two weeks after their disappearance, two missing Warren County women are drawing national attention.
News outlets such as MSNBC broadcast stories Monday about Mary Ellen Walters, 68, and Ada Wasson, 80, who left their retirement home April 19 to go on a shopping trip.
Family members have searched thousands of square miles between Columbus and Carrollton, Ky., where the two women liked to shop at outlet malls.
The scope of their search has expanded to cover more ground, as tips are reported and leads tracked down.
A waitress in Vevay, Ind., said she saw the pair several days after their families last heard from them, and Walters’ son-in-law said he plans to ask someone at every business in the target area.
“It’s been 17 days now and the family is still determined to bring them home,” said Brad Nixon.
Nixon said the family has asked utility workers to look alongside roadways for the women or the Chevy Impala they drove, and they’ve also used the Internet to search for the pair.
“It’s really reassuring that the community has come out, volunteered or provided ideas (because) we can use all the ideas we can get right now,” Nixon said.
