Tricia Lynn Reitler was a 19-year-old psychology student at Indiana Wesleyan University when she was last seen the evening of March 29, 1993. She left campus to walk about half a mile to a nearby Marsh Supermarket in Marion, Indiana, and was seen leaving the store after buying a soda and a magazine. Her bloodstained clothing was found the next day in a field near Seybold Pool, between the supermarket and the university, but Tricia herself has never been located.

Foul play is strongly suspected. Investigators have considered several suspects over the years, including Larry DeWayne Hall. Items connected to Tricia’s case were found in his van shortly after her disappearance, and Hall later confessed to her abduction and murder before recanting; he also led investigators to a site near Mississinewa Reservoir where no evidence of Tricia was found. No one has been formally charged in connection with her disappearance and the case remains open.

Tricia’s family believes she is no longer alive but continues to hope her remains will be found and that answers will come. If anyone knew Tricia, saw her on March 29, 1993, or has information that could help, please share what is known with investigators.
