Joyce Crider was 32 and living in Lexington, Kentucky, when she disappeared after saying she would meet her estranged husband, Bill Crider Jr., at the Holiday Inn on Athens‑Boonesboro Road on the evening of October 27, 2002. She was in the midst of a contentious divorce and a court order required them to keep apart. She had recently lost her home and possessions in a gas explosion but was reportedly in good spirits and enrolling in a medical transcription course.

Joyce left behind all personal belongings, including a knee brace and her dogs. Her dark green 1993 Nissan Infiniti G20 also vanished; it was recovered in December 2002, covered in snow in a parking lot on Winchester Road, with signs someone other than Joyce had driven it there. Investigators considered Bill a person of interest after he initially lied about when he last saw Joyce and searches of his property turned up no trace of her remains. Joyce was later declared legally dead in November 2009.

Does anyone remember seeing Joyce, her car, or her dogs around late October 2002 in the Lexington area?
