Edith Gertrude Hillman was 59 when she vanished from her home in Leakesville, Greene County, Mississippi, in the late summer of 1987. Reports differ on the exact last-seen date, with listings giving August 23, 1987, and others citing dates between late August and September 5, 1987. She had dinner with her son before he left for college and was expected to begin a new job at Leakesville Annex School; she reportedly did not show up for that first day.

Edith is described as a white woman, about 6 feet tall, 160–170 pounds, with blond or strawberry-blond hair and brown eyes, pierced ears, a Caesarean-section scar, and a German accent. Authorities have described the circumstances as a suspected abduction and list the Greene County Sheriff’s Office as the investigating agency (NamUs MP72780, agency case number 8211406088).

If anyone knew Edith, saw her Toyota, or has information about her movements in late August or early September 1987, please come forward.
