Family marks missing Griffith woman’s 49th birthday as search continues; Dushawna Glover disappeared May 16

On Tuesday, family members gathered a few feet from the Griffith apartment from where she went missing May 16 with a sheet cake decorated in red roses and cupcakes for the little ones. Intermittent downpours throughout the afternoon kept them from their task: searching for the now 49-year-old in and around an industrial park not a mile from where she lived.

I wonder how she lost her sandal? Was she running or was the flooding so bad it swept her away?

This is a strange one.

Family searches for missing woman after police find her shoe

Updated

DG’s shoe


More than 20 people gathered Saturday morning at the Pilot Travel Center on Burr Street in Gary's Black Oak neighborhood to look for Dushawna Glover.

Family fanned out across Gary Saturday, going door-to-door and passing out missing person fliers in the Park West apartment complex and other areas across the Steel City.

They got a few tips from people who may have seen her, including from a man who thought he saw a woman matching her description getting into a red pickup truck at 24th Ave and Burr Street sometime in the past few days.

Seals said the family doesn't know how good the leads are but will turn them over to detectives to pursue further.

Now that the seasons have changed I wonder if a new search would turn up more evidence about Dushawna's disappearance? It's been 6 months since she disappeared. She and her family are in my prayers.

Silver Alert canceled for Griffith woman missing since May

The Indiana State Police canceled the Silver Alert Tuesday because, at least for now, Griffith Police have exhausted search efforts to find Dushawna Glover, of the 100 block of West 35th Court, on the town’s north side.

Glover, 48, disappeared from a Tradewinds-owned apartment in the early hours of May 16.

Canceling the Silver Alert doesn’t take Glover out of any national databases or prevent the department from picking up the search again later, Griffith Police spokesman Cmdr. Keith Martin said in a release Wednesday. It instead takes her out of the initial alerting stage and opens the case to other resources, Martin said.

Woman with mental disabilities remains missing despite extensive search efforts, police say

On Tuesday the silver alert for Dushawna Glover was canceled as Griffith police moved to the next stage of the investigation. Griffith police said they have exhausted all search efforts to locate the missing woman, which in turn caused authorities to cancel the alert. However, Glover will remain in the national missing persons database.

Police hope this public announcement about her case will get the word out again to the public and may open the investigation to other resources.
