Freida Louise Franks, 45, was last seen in Stone County, Missouri, on August 17, 2001. She is described as American Indian/Alaska Native, about 5 feet 7 inches tall, 130 to 135 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes; she was reportedly wearing a T-shirt, jeans, tennis shoes, and a watch when she disappeared. NamUs lists her as Missing Person MP237 with last contact on August 17, 2001.

The disappearance centers on a camping trip that began in the Ozarks. The group stayed at or near a campground by Table Rock Lake and may have later traveled toward Beaver Lake in northwest Arkansas. On September 9, 2001, Walsh arrived in Rule, Arkansas, with the child but without Freida; the child was later confirmed kidnapped and Walsh was arrested on charges connected to the child. The child later told investigators she believed she had seen a decomposing body inside one of the cabins she and Walsh had visited, but no remains have been recovered and the cabin location could not be identified.

Freida was reported missing by her daughter in 2002. What happened to Freida after that trip remains unresolved. Does anyone have information about Freida’s movements during or after the August 2001 trip, or recall the motor home or campgrounds visited?
