Olive Frances Petty, known to family as Ollie, was 49 when she traveled from North Fort Myers, Florida, to Kentucky for an annual family reunion in late summer 2000. On September 14, 2000, after the reunion, she flew home from Louisville International Airport and was last seen wearing a red T-shirt with a block design on the lower left front, green capri pants, white athletic shoes, and rings on every finger. She made one phone call from Florida to tell family she had landed safely; that call was the last confirmed contact.
Olive is described as a white female, brown hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 1 inch and about 135 pounds, with pierced ears and a scar under her right breast. A week after that final call her husband, Bobby Petty, notified family in Kentucky that she was missing; family members say he was unwelcoming when they came to the couple’s Lee County home and suggested she had left with another man. The Georgetown, Kentucky Police Department is handling the case. Checks found no activity on her credit cards, bank accounts, driver’s license, or Social Security number after her disappearance.
Her family stresses that going silent like this was out of character. Does anyone have information about Olive’s movements after she arrived back in Florida or remembers seeing her at the airport on September 14, 2000?
