Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP5323) and 14 other sources
Wendy Louise Felton, a 16-year-old from Marion, Indiana, disappeared on June 4, 1987. On the day of her disappearance, Wendy stayed home while her older sister drove their parents to the airport. When her sister returned around 5:00 p.m., Wendy was missing. All of her personal belongings, including her purse and favorite sneakers, were left behind in her bedroom. Initially, authorities believed she had run away, but her case was later reclassified as "endangered missing" due to the suspicious circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

Despite investigations, including a search of the home of a potential suspect linked to other missing cases, no evidence was found, and Wendy's case remains unsolved. Over the years, there have been no significant breakthroughs, though her case remains active and is still being investigated by the Grant County Sheriff's Office.

Anyone with information regarding Wendy's case is encouraged to contact local authorities as her family continues to seek answers after decades of uncertainty.
