Cold case of missing Haskell woman gets another look By Donna HalesPhoenix Staff Writer Wells’ clothes were in the motel room, Bill Wells said. Her rental car, a white Plymouth Acclaim, rented in Tulsa, was found the next morning, April 13, 1994. It had been abandoned in a wooded, rural area of Perry County, about 35 miles west of Carlisle, near New Germantown, along Route 274, according to police.
The car was out of gas and appeared to have stopped in its tracks in the road’s westbound lane, according to The Patriot-News of Harrisburg, Pa. The car had several scratches on it and was spattered with mud. The passenger’s and driver’s side doors were standing open, the newspaper reported. Well’s change purse, with cash still inside, was found in a nearby ditch. Police said there were no signs of a struggle inside the car. Her wallet also was found, Goodheart said. Helicopters and dogs were used to search the area for Wells at the time she went missing. The Patriot-News reported odometer readings from Wells’ rental car showed the car traveled 700 miles more than the distance from Oklahoma to Carlisle. Goodheart said if she had stayed on the Interstate, that Tuesday, she would have arrived in New Jersey in about an hour and a half. Instead, she drove about an hour and a half out of the way to go to Carlisle, where she was three hours away from New Jersey, he said. “I think she was lost — but somebody may have been giving her wrong directions,” Goodheart said Friday.
