Kathern Fetzer was 26 when she disappeared from Medina, Ohio in late November 1991. On November 26 she left a note for her husband saying she felt restless and was going to a local mall to window shop. She took her purse and a white knee-length cotton coat but left nearly all other personal items behind, including clothing, checkbook, credit cards and essential medications for asthma and migraines. A load of laundry was still in the washing machine.

Her blue 1985 Ford Tempo was found locked and abandoned about 25 miles from her home the following day on a gravel truck turnaround near an unused railroad line. Some of her possessions were in the car; there were no signs of a struggle, no fingerprints and no clear explanation for what happened. Investigators later learned Fetzer was having an extramarital affair with a married coworker, Christopher J. Below, whose apartment was near where the car was found. Below initially gave a false alibi.

In 2003 Below confessed to shooting Fetzer with a .380 caliber pistol in his apartment on the day she vanished and said he disposed of her body in a trash bin. He pleaded guilty to attempted involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced, but Fetzer’s remains have never been recovered. Did anyone in Medina or the surrounding area have contact with Kathern in the days before November 26, 1991?
