Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP8518) and 6 other sources
Francene Eulita Gordon, a 48-year-old woman from Sherman, Texas, was last seen on November 13, 1999. She was driving her vehicle in her hometown, accompanied by another woman named Joann Wallace. Two days later, her car was found abandoned at a shopping center in west Sherman. While her purse, money, and identification were found in the trunk of the car—where she normally kept them—her keys were missing. There was no sign of Gordon at the scene, and she has not been heard from since.

Gordon's family reported that it was unusual for her to go so long without contacting them, leading authorities to suspect that she may have been taken against her will. Known for her love of fishing in Hagerman, Texas, and frequenting local spots like the Good Times Lounge in Denison, her sudden disappearance has remained a mystery for over two decades. Despite ongoing efforts by law enforcement, including the Sherman Police Department, no significant leads have emerged in the case. Gordon's case remains listed as endangered and unsolved, with investigators still hoping for information that might provide answers.

Anyone with information about her case is encouraged to contact the Texas Department of Public Safety or local authorities.
