Teresa Carol Wise, 34, vanished from Springhill, Louisiana, in the summer of 1982 after nearly a decade working as an office clerk at the Dixie Dandy grocery store. Those who knew her described her as responsible and dependable, and her disappearance was said to be completely out of character.

Accounts differ about Teresa’s last known movements. Some reports place her at her North Roosevelt Street home in the afternoon; other accounts say she was seen about 9:00 p.m. walking her dog near the Levingston motel on South Arkansas Street. She was reportedly wearing a red halter top and shorts. There were no clear signs she planned to leave, and she has not been heard from since.

The Springhill Police Department still lists the case as open. Foul play has been suspected, and the case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System in November 2021. Does anyone have memories of Teresa, her routines, or sightings from summer 1982 that could help fill the gaps in the timeline?
