No word of Nancy huh? This case is just so hard to understand. It is doubtful that Nancy would have called her brother just to tell him a story about her tire when it wasn't true and there was nothing wrong with her tire. That just doesn't make any sense. But why would someone else make her call her brother with a story like that? Why would someone else want to involve her brother in the first place? If someone was forcing Nancy go somewhere with them why involve a member of her family? Then the brother gets there and Nancy's truck isn't even there! It's been quite a while now. I hope for the family's sake that Nancy is found soon. The not knowing has to be awful.

Ok, I was always told that if my car broke down, never to accept help from another person to fix a flat unless someone was with me or I was in public. Maybe someone stopped to help her fix the flat and decided to hurt her afterwards. That would explain her phone call about the flat, but there being no flat on the truck when it was found....

Am I just stating the obvious? Sorry if I'm slow....

Another thing that seriously irritates me is that typically is no listing of the MP's hobbies.

I mean THAT information is really important, particularly since the individuals who MIGHT be able to identify the person will PROBABLY have the same interests, hey?

It's really irritating to spend weeks on the Net and come to learn that there is only ONE photograph, NO descriptions of hobbies, NO mention of educational background, NO nothing about the missing adult, but the same reporter's give oodles & oodles of sensationalistic emotional statements from family members.

It is so illogical, it really is, and I can't imagine why.

The thing is, though, that most adults who are believed to have gone missing voluntarily get no press. They're adults who can do as they like, and even if the police find them they can't force them to return. Nancy Lewis is NOT believed to be a voluntary missing, and the circumstances of her disappearance don't indicate that she would have left on her own. If she's dead, there's no point in issuing statements that she likes to crochet or something.

without alerting a person or persons who were in her vicinity that she was frightened of. Maybe another driver got her attention by indicating to her that she had a flat to get her to pull over.
Are there any traffic cameras along the route she usually took? Or where the truck was found?
My prayers are with the family for a positive outcome.

No, that makes perfect sense. I hadn't thought about her calling her brother and then someone coming along and changing the tire for her and then things turning bad after he got it changed. I guess we need to know if her spare was flat. If it wasn't flat then that is another story cause the person wouldn't have taken the time to get her tire fixed knowing that her brother was on the way. On the other hand, if someone came along and talked her into letting him change the tire why didn't she call her brother back and let him know that he didn't need to come after all? I wonder if the brother had a cell phone or if there was anyone at his place to answer the phone if she tried to call him? Such a puzzle.

ok, so what about this, just throwing an idea out. I have had people motion to me to pull over before because my tire was going flat. Maybe someone motioned about a flat tire and she called her brother but didnt realize till she got out that there was nothing wrong with it? Far fetched I know, just trying to make sense of it all.

That is a possibility too. I've had people do that before too. It is just so strange that she called her brother and then wasn't there when he got there.
In trying to cover all angles I wonder if LE checked the brother's phone records to see if she had actually called him? I would imagine that LE has questioned everyone and checked phone records....I hope so anyway. I don't know the dynamics in her family and that is why I am questioning the call.

nancy never called her brother nor did the truck have a flat. we think the call to the co-worker was either made by someone else or they forced her to say she had a flat. i believe that all the answers are in the house where she lived and that the roommate knows what happened to her. i think they killed her in that house ,put her body in the toolbox on her truck then dumped the toolbox somewhere. that was the only thing missing from the truck.the roommate knows what happened. thanks to everyone for careing

 

[crymsyn]

Is there any more news about Nancy?

 

[poochie54]

there is no news about nancy. the police don't even look anymore. they are waiting for someone else to do there work and then they will take the credit. all we can do as a family is to keep hoping and praying. thanks to everyone that ask about her.

 

[T-Rex]

Poochie--I'm really glad you posted. I think about your sister-in-law often, ever since reading about her here. I'm so sorry there hasn't been more progress.

 

[monkalup]

A Birmingham family is devastated by the disappearance of their loved one, and the lack of progress in the case. Nancy Lewis vanished May 18th, 2005 while on her way to work.

The family is frustrated. They started to hire a private investigator last year, but were told not much more could be done. Police had exhausted all avenues. So now, they're relying on the public for answers.

"It just tears you up on the inside to think that something happened to her, she could be out there somewhere," said Lewis’ nephew, Willie Brown.

Now, her family prays, and sometimes cries waiting for answers.

"We just need some closure, somebody out there knows something," said Lewis’ sister, Dorothy Westry.

Seems so strange that people were using her truck after her disappearance, questioned, and released? I don't understand why LE doesn't go the extra mile to persuade these folks to talk. Their excuse of pawning the truck to each other for $15 and not knowing anything is all BS.

 

[Bobbisangel]

There must have been one or two people that took the truck in the first place. So who was the origional person/persons. The three guys might not have been involved in Nancy's disappearance but if someone is renting her truck to them then they have to know who it is. How hard is that to find out?
Why not charge all three for thift? Maybe that would help them talk.

 

[poochie54]

just wanted to say hello to everyone an report there is still nothing on nancy yet. it is hard to come here and read all the posts, because i'm always hoping for the least little info.thanks again to all of you for caring enough to ask about her.

 

[concernedperson]

Bless you and your family, Poochie. What a terrible thing to have gone on so long with no new info. I hope Nancy is found soon.:blowkiss:

 

[T-Rex]

Poochie--I'm so glad you posted, even if nothing is new.

 

[Bobbisangel]

Poochie, was the tool box ever found? Most tool boxes that fit into trucks are pretty big and would be hard to hide. Did LE ever go through Nancy and her roommates place with anything like luminol? Have LE let this case grow cold? What a shame if they have.
