Circumstances of Disappearance​

Joan Travis was last seen on March 4, 1998. A relative had driven Joan from Hillsboro to South St. Louis to run errands. While in a convenience store's parking lot in the 4300 block of Chippewa Street, Joan talked to two men in a 1992 or 1993 red Dodge van with a silver stripe and a temporary Illinois sticker in a window. Joan told the relative that she was leaving with the men. The relative later told police he assumed Joan knew the men and that he then returned to Hillsboro without her.

Travis, who lived in the Oakwood Terrace subdivision in Hillsboro, was 52 when she disappeared in March 1998. Not much has happened in the case since.
“The case said that a person of interest in the case was spotted coming out of the area of the lake on Castle Ranch,” he said. “It noted that it was an unreliable witness, but that it had really never been checked out.”
Bennett then called upon the services of the High Ridge Fire Protection District’s dive team, whose sonar equipment scanned the lake under the water’s surface.
“The dogs caught a scent, but the lake is so overgrown, it’s impossible to tell,” Bennett said. “The lake has not been used for years.”
