Edna Hoffman Freeman, 49, disappeared on April 20, 1998, while walking the short, familiar route from her daughter’s home to her own house on Florida Street in Tallulah, Louisiana. She was last seen in daylight wearing blue jeans, a light yellow or blue long-sleeved turtleneck and black shoes. Freeman is described as a white female, about 5 feet 2 inches tall, 120 to 140 pounds, with brown hair, green eyes, a scar on her upper arm from a polio vaccination, a possible surgical scar on her abdomen, and a slight limp.

The disappearance is noted for its ordinary circumstances: a routine walk between family homes where Freeman simply never arrived. The Madison Parish Sheriff’s Office has handled the investigation. One report says a suspect was questioned and later released for lack of evidence. The case has remained open for decades and the family continues to seek answers.

If anyone knew Edna, remembers seeing her on April 20, 1998, or has information that could help, please come forward.
