A missing woman, a hotel card, and a fax number. 

On January 29th, 1999, 45-year-old Diane Wolf vanished after a shift at Hanover Foods. 

She was last captured on surveillance video making a $300 deposit at the drive through ATM at Allfirst Bank. Her 1994 teal Pontiac Grand Prix was later found at Weis Market. 

As investigators re-examined the case a decade later, new clues surfaced. Perhaps Diane’s life was more complicated than anyone originally thought. Diane Wolf remains missing. 

At the time of her disappearance, Diane was 45 years old, 5’6, 180 pounds with brown eyes. She had recently dyed her hair red. Diane wore glasses, has three earrings on each ear, and a purple rose tattoo on her left ankle. 

Anyone with any information regarding the disappearance of Diane Wolf has been asked to contact PSP Gettysburg at 717-334-8111 or Adams County Crimestoppers who are offering a cash reward. Tips can also be submitted here.

A shopping trip, two knives, and questions of competency. 

On June 3rd, 2024, 38-year-old Margot Wood and her son, Julian, stopped at the Giant Eagle in North Olmsted, Ohio, to pick up groceries. 

As Margot pushed Julian in the shopping cart to her silver minivan, the mother and son were attacked by a woman wielding a knife. Three-year-old Julian was killed. 

32-year-old, Bionca Ellis had a history of mental illness. But no one could’ve imagined such a brutal attack in broad daylight with people all around. 

As the case made its way to trial there were questions as to whether or not Ellis would be held criminally responsible.
