Francene Eulita Gordon, 48, of Sherman, Texas, was last seen on November 13, 1999, leaving town in a vehicle with another woman named Joann Wallace. Two days later the car was recovered abandoned at a west Sherman shopping center. Her purse, money, and identification were found in the trunk—where she normally kept them—but her keys were missing and there was no sign of Gordon at the scene. Her family said it was out of character for her to go so long without contact, and authorities have treated her as possibly taken against her will.

Gordon was known to enjoy fishing in Hagerman and to visit local venues such as the Good Times Lounge in Denison. The Sherman Police Department and other investigators have continued to list the case as endangered and unsolved; no significant leads have been publicly reported. Anyone with information about Francene Gordon’s disappearance is asked to contact the Texas Department of Public Safety or local law enforcement.
