Lisa Thomas, 36, disappeared from her Bakersfield, California apartment on August 10, 1996. She was last seen at the home she shared with her husband, Leonard Bryce Thomas. Lisa’s twin sister Teresa grew concerned when Lisa failed to pick up her children; after forcing entry to the apartment she found blood under the mattress and spattered on the walls, facts that led investigators to believe Lisa had been murdered even though her body was never recovered.

Investigators later documented a troubled marriage marked by infidelity and other problems. DNA evidence from the scene tied Bryce to the crime. Bryce was ultimately convicted of second-degree murder and given a sentence of 15 years to life. Teresa pursued the case tenaciously, including going undercover to obtain additional information that helped bring the matter to trial.

Does anyone have memories of Lisa from Bakersfield in 1996 or information that could shed more light on what happened that August?
