I've been keeping track of cases of people missing with vehicles on a website called Mapthemissing, many cases of this type have been solved due to the vehicle being found with sonar technology or otherwise.
Janet Walsh is a case that I'm focusing on this month.
She and her vehicle will have been missing for 4 years on the 20th.
Details
On Sunday, January 19th of 2020, Janet was seen at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Glenshaw, PA.
Her vehicle (a silver 2018 Chevy Trax with license plate No. KTW 6007.) was captured on an intersection camera on Mt. Royal Blvd. at 12:09 P.M. traveling south towards her home at 108 Dolores Drive.
She was last physically seen that night at 7:30 P.M. by her daughter and son in law, they left Janet’s home after having dinner there around this time.
The next morning, Monday, January 20th, Janet called her daughter at 8 A.M. and they made plans for dinner.
Janet also called at 10 A.M. to cancel a doctors appointment (therapy, type unspecified) because she wasn’t feeling well, according to the register from the doctor’s office. According to investigators, she sounded congested and sick when she spoke with office staff.
Her daughter arrived at Janet’s home at 5 P.M. and found that Janet and her car were gone. Her cell phone was upstairs, and the preparation for the meal was out according to police.
Janet is not described as having any health issues, however she uses a cane or walker due to limited mobility. Her husband had passed away a few months prior in November of 2019 and she may have been depressed.
Her car has not been spotted on license plate readers of found at any local car lots. The GPS tracker is also off the grid, suggesting it was somehow disconnected, or it’s somewhere with no satellite availability such as a body of water.
The Allegheny River was searched by investigators and the volunteer search group Adventures with Purpose, and land searches were conducted. Arthur Lake was also searched more recently by the volunteer search group Chaos Divers.
There was an unconfirmed sighting at Conneaut lake.
