Terri Jo Hamm was 52 when she was last seen in Lancaster, Ohio, on January 26, 2015. Family and friends described a turbulent, abusive marriage to Jeffrey Scott Hamm; police were called to the couple’s home on East Chestnut Street ten times in the year before her disappearance. Terri had talked about seeking a restraining order but had not completed it.

Terri’s car, coat, and phone chargers were found at the home, while her purse, glasses, and cell phone were missing. Scott gave conflicting accounts of when he last saw her and reported her missing on January 31. He was later charged with aggravated murder, kidnapping, robbery, tampering with evidence, and gross abuse of a corpse; court filings allege he strangled her with a belt in the basement before disposing of her body. Scott pleaded guilty in May 2016 and admitted killing Terri, but her body has never been recovered and he was unable to identify its location despite varying accounts.

Anyone who knew Terri, her routines, or saw her in Lancaster around late January 2015 is asked to share information that might help bring answers.
