MARION, Ind. (WISH) — The Grant County Sheriff’s Office is asking for help solving a 37-year cold case disappearance. 

On June 4, 1987, officials say Wendy Louise Felton disappeared from her home in Marion and has never been seen or heard from since. She was 16 years old at the time. 

Investigators released photos of Felton from 1987, along with an age-progressed portrait of the now 51-year-old Felton. They say she had a 1-inch scar on her right shoulder and she wore contact lenses.

The sheriff’s office adds that while many things have changed in the 37 years, her family’s love and hope that she will be found hasn’t.
