A rumour has been going around town that Ada Wasson had been hospitalized after trying to commit suicide in March. Is this true???
If so, when was she released from the hospital? Did Mary Ellen know? Is this why that other resident did not go with them? Could this be why they disappeared?
If Ada was trying to commit suicide again, she would have been accerating when she left the road. The car could be farther off the road than expected.
wlwt.com did a story on it this evening. It is also on their website.
This is the story from their website...
TURTLECREEK TOWNSHIP, Ohio — One month after two Warren County women disappeared during a shopping trip, family members have not yet given up searching for the pair. They have searched 8,000 square miles from Columbus to Carrollton, scanning a wide path on both sides of Interstate 71 by air and by land, and still nothing.
Ada Wasson, 80, and Mary Ellen Walters, 68, left Otterbein Retirement Community last month to go shopping at an outlet mall and haven’t been seen or heard from since.
Walters’ son-in-law and others are mapping a new strategy this weekend
They now believe the pair may have left at 4 p.m. instead of 1:30 p.m.
“If that were true, then they would be closer to home,” said Brad Nixon.
They’re restarting the search by exploring a ring around Otterbein, and searchers will each travel 45 miles in different directions.
Family said Wasson never drove at night and always traveled on the side roads.
Searchers will try to peel back the brush on every road, and they will also go onto and into the water.
“(We’ll search) with sonar, with boats (and) with dogs if we can get them, whatever we can take to search all the bodies of water nearby,” Nixon said.
