Tracy Sissom, 33, vanished from Indianapolis after a Septembe r20, 2004 phone call to her mother saying she was almost home. She had been moving out of the apartment she shared with her estranged husband, Michael, and was using her father’s black 1995 Chevy Trailblazer to transport belongings. The Trailblazer was found abandoned on October 4 on North Oakland Avenue; a witness saw it driven erratically before a man and a woman exited and ran off. A partial box of ammunition was recovered from the vehicle but no usable fingerprints or DNA.

On October 8 a hunter in rural Brown County discovered a body wrapped in a blanket; due to decomposition the gender was not initially clear. Distinctive tattoos—a chain on an ankle and a flower on the back of a leg—helped lead to identification. Dental records confirmed the remains as Tracy Sissom on December 17, 2004, and authorities ruled the death a homicide; no drugs were found in her system and the specific cause of death was not released. Investigators found no known connection between Tracy and Brown County. Her estranged husband was named a person of interest and was reportedly familiar with the area; Tracy reportedly had a restraining order against him. No arrests have been announced and the case went cold despite a family reward offer in 2006.

Did anyone in Indianapolis or Brown County recognize the Trailblazer, the witness description, or the tattoos on the victim?
