LOCAL TWIST ON MISSING PERSONS CASE

The Journal Times has an interesting feature on how a local woman played a role in helping to solve a missing persons case from Washington state from the 1920s.

Racine's Jessie "Wilma" Ewing is a niece of Russel and Blanch Warren, who disappeared in July 1929. Recently, divers located the Warrens' car at the bottom of Lake Crescent in Olympia National Park.

The remains of Mr. Warren were positively identified through DNA provided by Ewing in January 2005. Divers will continue to search the bottom for Mrs. Warren, but the car will remain where it is as a historic resource.
