Rita Buffington, a 33-year-old woman with a mild mental disability, was reported missing from Bloomfield, Indiana, on July 28, 1994. The search ended when her body was found on August 6, 1994, about 18 miles from her home at Shake Lake No. 2 in Greene-Sullivan State Forest near Dugger. An investigation determined she died of a gunshot wound to the head and the death was ruled a homicide.

Despite ongoing interest from investigators, the case remains unsolved. Law enforcement has pursued leads and named people of interest over the years, but the Greene County Prosecutor has said there has not been enough evidence to convene a grand jury or file charges. The family continues to wait for answers.

If anyone in Bloomfield or the Greene-Sullivan State Forest area in 1994 has information that could help, please come forward.
