Louise Frank, 64, was reported missing from Two Rivers, Wisconsin, on November 30, 1984 after she left home about 3 p.m. to walk to a downtown restaurant for coffee and never arrived. Witnesses saw a woman matching her description in Lakeshore Park about an hour after she left and another sighting toward Lake Michigan at 4:30 p.m. Her purse, with identification and showing signs of having washed ashore, was found on a Point Beach State Forest beach in early December. Extensive searches over 20 days involved the Two Rivers Police Department, Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Department, Point Beach rangers, K-9 teams, ATVs and aerial searches; the East Twin River was dragged but no other evidence was recovered. Friends and family said Frank had mentioned taking her own life by throwing herself into the river. Her case remains open and she is listed as missing by national law enforcement; the Two Rivers Police Department retains the file under case number 84-11-32818.
