Clare Faulkner Ales, 78, was last seen walking near her home on Kyle Road in Batesville, Mississippi, at about 11:00 a.m. on January 14, 1991. Five days later a postal carrier noticed her mail piling up; a welfare check by Batesville police on January 19 found her house locked with no signs of forced entry or struggle.

Inside the home a meal was on the stove and dishes, a coffee cup and a container of butter were on the table, suggesting she had finished breakfast and was preparing lunch when she disappeared. Nothing of value was reported missing, she lived alone and did not own a vehicle, and friends and authorities say she had no known health or mental issues to explain the disappearance. Tips have come in over the years, including an anonymous letter in 2005, but no definitive answers have been found.

What information do readers have about Clare’s routines, acquaintances, or movements in Batesville around January 1991 that might help shed light on her disappearance?
