Traci Leigh Pittman Kegley was 30 and newly separated when she disappeared after a routine gas stop on April 26, 1998. She was last seen at a BP station at U.S. Highway 231 North and Redland Road; her white 1993 Geo Storm was later found parked on Old Georgia Road in Wetumpka with her two-year-old daughter unharmed and Traci’s purse and identification inside. There was no visible sign of a struggle, and family and investigators say she would not have left the child voluntarily, so authorities from the outset treated the case as a likely abduction or kidnapping.

Searches of nearby areas and gravel pits turned up nothing. Years of investigation produced few leads; her family put up billboards and offered rewards. In early 2018 a confidential tip led police to a 300-acre property owned by the ex-husband’s family, where cadaver dogs indicated decomposing human remains and divers recovered material from a pond that was submitted for testing. Traci’s body has not been found and no arrests have been announced.

Are there readers who knew Traci, her movements that day, or who have information about the property searched in 2018?
