Details of Disappearance
Hartwell was last seen between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m on November 28, 2001, getting into a green four-door Saturn with tinted windows in the vicinity of Harrison-Jefferson Road in Columbia, Mississippi. She has not been seen or heard from since. She left behind three children, whom she walked to the school bus stop shortly before she vanished.

After Hartwell's disappearance, investigators found her purse. Nothing appeared to be missing from it. An extensive search failed to turn up any clue as to Hartwell's whereabouts. Her case is unsolved; the circumstances surrounding her disappearance are unclear.

I wonder why she entered that car?
