Lead #3Given Wallace's short-term memory loss and poor sense of direction from brain damage, could she have voluntarily left, or was she dependent on assistance?
Theresa Anne Wallace, a 34-year-old woman with significant cognitive impairment from a previous brain injury, disappeared from her Urbana apartment on July 20, 1990, and has not been seen or heard from since. Her vehicle was spotted that evening at a retirement home where she had no connections, then recovered a week later in a residential area miles away. Given her vulnerability and the unexplained vehicle movements, investigators need fresh leads to determine whether she left voluntarily, was aided by someone, or became a victim of foul play.
