The person at the center of this case
Louise F Frank
Justice for Louise F Frank — the trail went cold in 1984, but the truth hasn't.
Start here
Why was Louise observed near the Lake Michigan pier when she was supposedly walking to a local diner? Did she change her route or was she taken there?
What condition was the purse in when found? Did it contain any items that could indicate what happened to Louise?
The one-week gap between disappearance and purse discovery is significant—could the purse have been moved or was it in the water?
Louise F Frank, a 64-year-old woman, disappeared on November 30, 1984, after leaving her home in Two Rivers, Wisconsin to walk to a local diner for coffee. She was last seen near a pier on Lake Michigan, and her purse was found 4-5 miles north along the shoreline a week later, but no other evidence has surfaced. Despite extensive search efforts by law enforcement and the U.S. Coast Guard, Louise remains missing and the circumstances of her disappearance remain unknown.
