Lancaster was last seen in Wheelersburg, Ohio, on April 3, 2013. She had planned to run errands before returning to her parents’ home that evening, but she never arrived. She has not been heard from since. Two days later, her vehicle was discovered abandoned at a Rally’s fast-food restaurant in Portsmouth, Ohio. Her wallet was found on the passenger seat, but there were no signs of her whereabouts. Investigators believe her disappearance may be linked to several other missing persons and homicide cases in the area. Some of the individuals involved shared connections through locations and acquaintances, and all had experienced struggles with substance use.
