- Details of Disappearance:
- On April 3, 2013, a woman named Lancaster went missing in Wheelersburg, Ohio. She was supposed to go out and come back to her parents’ home that night, but she never did. Two days later, her car was found at a Rally’s restaurant in nearby Portsmouth, Ohio, with her purse inside.
Lancaster had a drug problem and sometimes worked as a prostitute to pay for drugs. She had a young son (7 years old) who lived with his grandmother. Despite her struggles, her family said she loved her son and kept in touch with them regularly before disappearing.
Police think Lancaster’s case might be linked to other missing women (Jayme Bowen, Holly Logan, Wanda Lemons, Charlotte Trego) and women who were murdered (Tameka Lynch, Tiffany Sayre). These women all had things in common—some knew the same people, lived in similar areas, and all had problems with drugs. There’s a theory that a serial killer could be responsible, but police haven’t found any suspects. All these cases remain unsolved, and Portsmouth police are working on Lancaster’s disappearance.
