Betty Carlton, 41, was last seen in Bloomfield, Indiana, in July 2008. Witnesses placed her in knee-deep water under the Veteran’s Memorial Bridge in Elliston, which spans the White River. In the days immediately before her disappearance she was reported acting unusually, and she had a history of mental illness and prescribed medication.

At the time she lived on Seminary Street and was last seen wearing a pink shirt and black pants; she is a white female with brown hair and blue eyes and may have been wearing eyeglasses. The day after she disappeared someone in a life jacket was reported floating in the river, but officials have not confirmed whether that was Betty. Conservation officers searched the White River and nearby areas for a month with no sign of her. A warrant had been issued after she missed a court date stemming from an incident in which she reportedly called 911 and then assaulted a responding officer.

It remains unclear whether she drowned, left voluntarily, or whether her legal troubles played any role. Does anyone have information about Betty’s movements in July 2008 or recall seeing her near the Veteran’s Memorial Bridge?
