Publisher's Summary

Dolores Oliver, fondly nicknamed "Lert" by her friends as a term of endearment, was out an outgoing and friendly woman who was well liked by all who knew her. Yet, on September 7, 1974, while on a visit to a local bar to chat with friends, she simply vanished without a trace. Foul play was immediately suspected by her family, who knew in their hearts that they could think of absolutely no one who would want to do her any harm. Yet her lifeless body was found at the end of October in a bean field by a farmer in Illinois. Lawrence County coroner Dale Nichols was able to make a positive ID through dental records and a ring Mrs. Oliver was wearing. 

Who would have done such a thing, and why? Hopefully, Vanished in Vincennes will help to finally solve one of the oldest cold cases in Indiana and bring her family some closure they have sought for so long. Radio personality Paul Harvey once said, “If you want to get away with murder? Just go to Vincennes, Indiana.” Sadly, in September of 1974, that comment rang true.
