Details of Disappearance

Nonemaker was last seen at her residence in Shepherdsville, Kentucky on December 31, 1999 at approximately 4:00 p.m. Her husband saw her before he went out to run errands. She may have been sighted shortly thereafter walking towards Highway 44 at Lees Valley Road. It's possible she went out to look for her dog, who had been missing since September.

She may have also been seen walking along Interstate 65, near Exit 117, at approximately 6:00 p.m. That was the last unconfirmed sighting of Nonemaker. When her husband got home about two hours after he left, she wasn't there. She has never been heard from again.

Nonemaker left all of her personal belongings at her residence, including her vehicle, purse, identification, cash, credit cards and medication. She may have traveled to Baytown, Texas or Dallas, Texas. Her husband stated she had left home before in the past for short time periods, but she's never been gone for this long, she's never left without her identification. Her case remains unsolved.
