Rene Marie Williams, 36, vanished after finishing a bartending shift at the Eagles Lodge on Highway 14 in Ava, Missouri. On March 13, 2007, around 1:30 a.m. she called her boyfriend to say she was driving home to Mansfield; her car was found the next morning in the lodge parking lot but Rene was gone. She was a mother of four and was last seen in a blue hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and possibly white sneakers, wearing three gold rings on her left hand. Distinct tattoos included two feathers on her right arm, a unicorn head on her right ankle and the letters K S A on the fingers of her left hand.

There was no activity on her cell phone or financial accounts after she disappeared. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Department treated the case as a possible abduction; searches with cadaver dogs, excavation equipment and thousands of investigative hours failed to recover her body. In July 2009 authorities arrested patron Christopher E. Revak and charged him with second-degree murder after DNA evidence linked him to the scene and investigators reported Rene’s blood and saliva in his vehicle and apartment. Revak died by hanging in his jail cell the day after his arrest. Rene’s remains have not been found.

What information might help locate Rene or explain what happened that night at the Eagles Lodge?
