Joyce Alice Fisher, 28, vanished after a trip from her parents’ summer cottage near Indian Lake to the antique store Bell’s Corner in the Sister Lakes/Cassopolis area of southwestern Michigan. On April 16, 1978, she left her one-year-old daughter in her mother’s care and drove a 1969 Buick about six miles to meet estranged husband Jerry Wayne Fisher to sign over the title to a 1973 Chevrolet Vega. She told the store owner she would be back in about half an hour but never returned.

The Buick was later found parked outside Bell’s Corner with the keys inside and no visible sign of a struggle. Jerry said they drove briefly, realized the wrong title had been brought, and he dropped her back at the store between 4:00 and 4:30 p.m. Witnesses, however, reported seeing Jerry return alone and could not confirm Joyce leaving his vehicle or returning to her car. The correct Vega title was later located in Jerry’s safe-deposit box. Joyce, described as 5 feet 6 inches, about 125 pounds with blond hair and green eyes, was wearing a blue nylon jacket, a blue plaid shirt and blue jeans when she disappeared.

Her disappearance came amid a contentious separation and custody dispute; family and friends say she had feared him and alleged prior abuse. Her body has never been found and foul play is suspected. Does anyone remember seeing Joyce, her Buick, or anything unusual near Bell’s Corner around April 15–16, 1978?
