Louise Zunker, 56, of Portage, Wisconsin, was last seen on August 17, 1976. Her family reported her missing soon after that date and law enforcement conducted searches, canvasses and interviews, but no significant leads developed and the case eventually went cold.

Those who knew Louise remembered her as kind and devoted. Her family and community have continued to press for attention to the disappearance, holding events and sharing her story to keep awareness alive while hoping for any information that could explain what happened.

If anyone has memories of Portage in August 1976 or information about Louise’s whereabouts after August 17, 1976, please come forward.
