Wesley H. Eviston
Eviston was last seen at his home on 500 South in southern Noble Township, Indiana on August 29, 1991. He was home with friends when he left abruptly, saying he thought he was being set up. He has never been heard from again.
Shortly afterwards, his truck was found at the Huntington Street Bridge in Wabash, Indiana, with the keys in the ignition and his wallet and cigarettes inside as well. It would be uncharacteristic of him to leave the cigarettes behind. The only thing missing from the car was Eviston's rifle, which he always took with him; it has never been found.
The circumstances of Eviston's disappearance are unclear. His case remains unsolved.

Another missing resident declared dead

Seventeen years.
And now the family begins Chapter 2.
Chapter 2, if written, will show the resting place of Wes Eviston's remains and the discovery, prosecution and punishment of the person or persons who killed him.
Friday afternoon was an important day for Betty Stanton and her remaining son, Nick Eviston, for that afternoon, with the legalities tended to, Circuit Judge Robert McCallen III signed the order declaring Wes officially dead.
Wes, rural Wabash, disappeared Aug. 29, 1991, and though the family years ago essentially made terms with the worst, it was still a bit of a jolt to make it official.
it's been a long time, said Betty. I guess we've got to turn the page.
What's actually new, said NIck after the order was signed, is being able to accept the fact he's gone. But the main object is to find out the truth as to what really did happen.
It's like Chapter 2 now, added Betty. We need to go on and find out who did it. Wes needs justice. That's all we want is justice.
Exactly! said Nick.
The two have never rested in their pursuit of the case nor allowed city, county and state police to entirely forget it , what with periodic phone calls, letters, visits. They have worked to interest the governor, the superintendent of state police, television talk show hosts.
They are hoping the legal action might bump things along in two areas - perhaps it will help interest a Cold Case crew from state police or elsewhere to give the matter another look. And it may help interest an attorney in a wrongful death civil suit - in the process of which, information about Wes' disappearance may come out.
