Both the driver's and passenger's doors were "wide open." Inside were empty soda bottles, a pair of shoes, some uneaten french fries, and "indications of criminal activity, including a small quantity of marijuana." Denise's change purse, with a small sum of cash in it, was discovered in a nearby ditch. It was mud-splattered, and had scratches on it. It was out of gas, and the battery was dead. On the same morning, Denise's rental Plymouth Acclaim was found 35 miles distant, to the west and somewhat north of Carlisle, on State Route 274, in a very rural area near Tuscarora State Park, where it appeared to have "stopped in its tracks" in the westbound lane. After waiting until the early morning, she contacted police to report Denise missing. She then asked the staff to open the room, where they found Denise's belongings-as well as her room key-but no sign of Denise. The friend arrived shortly after midnight April 13, was directed to Denise's room, and knocked, but got no response. The friend was going to meet her up at the motel. She stated that she was going to go to the McDonald's near the motel, grab a bite to eat, and get some sleep. She called her friend in Bergen from the motel, telling her that she wouldn't be covering the rest of the distance and asking that the friend meet her there. She was the unemployed single parent of a little boy, who was viewed as dedicated to her son and, in the parlance, trying to "get her life together."ĭenise stopped in Carlisle, PA, and checked into the Pike Motel off the Harrisburgh Pike on the evening of April 12, 1994. Her parents were unconcerned about her making this journey, as she'd often traveled long distances solo when she had previously lived in South Dakota, where she had been convicted of forgery. She was driving from her family home in Oklahoma to visit a female friend in Bergen, NJ. The missing woman, who went by her middle name, Denise, has been mentioned in several threads on this site ( ), but surely deserves her own.
