Summary
What happened, as the record shows.
Nancy Lewis, 47, a cook at a children's hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, left home before dawn on May 18, 2005, for a 5:00 a.m. shift and never arrived. She called about a possible flat tire, and when help arrived, neither she nor her vehicle was there. Her blue Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck was found abandoned at a truck stop days after she vanished. Fingerprints found inside the truck did not belong to her, and witnesses reported an unknown man driving the vehicle. No remains have been found, no arrests have been made, and police consider the case a cold case.
