- Details of Disappearance:
- On August 7, 2004, at 4:00 p.m., Van Nortrick was last seen near the corner of Chickasaw and Elm streets in Sallisaw, Oklahoma. She’d been reported missing a few days earlier after leaving her Texas home. Her son had tried to get her help at a hospital for mental health issues.
While in Sallisaw, she acted strangely at a store and was arrested for being drunk and disorderly. The police later realized she wasn’t drunk. They called her family to pick her up, but no one could, so they released her.
She vanished after that and hasn’t been seen or heard from since. Her family says she sometimes wandered due to her schizophrenia, but she always kept in touch. She had no ID with her when she disappeared. The police still don’t know what happened to her.
