Eva Hale, missing since 1996: 'It’s hard to see what these families go through'

MARCO — It was Oct. 15, 1996, two days before her brother’s birthday, and 79-year-old Eva Hale had driven to the Marco Cemetery with a pumpkin to put on his grave.

www.heraldtimesonline.com

''MARCO — It was Oct. 15, 1996, two days before her brother’s birthday, and 79-year-old Eva Hale had driven to the Marco Cemetery with a pumpkin to put on his grave.''

'Investigators found the woman’s purse in the cemetery, and her spare set of car keys lying on the ground.'

''Around the time his mother went missing, two Greene County women and one from Sullivan County were killed. In 1994, 33-year-old Rita Buffington disappeared in Greene County and her body, with gunshot wounds, was found in a Greene-Sullivan State Forest lake. Her killing remains unsolved''.

''In July 1996, Audra Page, 88, vanished from her Sullivan County home and was found drowned in a nearby creek. The mystery of what happened to her has not been solved.'

“A lot of things seemed to be going on in that two- to three-year time period in Greene County, and if you look at the cases, in some ways, they may seem intertwined,” he said. “But they can also stand independently as far as the people involved.”

''Investigators before him followed leads and traveled dead-end roads in the case, never able to confirm their suspicions Eva Hale was abducted and killed.''
