Circumstance: Catherine Sackrider, 59, was last seen leaving her daughters home in Sylvania Township around 7 p.m. on September 18, 2012. She was believed to have been en route to her home in the Wall Lake area in northeast LaGrange County. Sackrider apparently never reached her destination. She was thought to be traveling SR120 in her pickup. She is 5′ 5″ tall, weighs about 160 pounds, and has brown hair and eyes. Catherine is a Sylvania native but now lives in Indiana. She was in town visiting her daughter and grandchildren. Her vehicle was discovered abandoned at Whetstone Park in Sylvania OH on Tuesday September 25, 2012. Police said they found her purse and a picture of her late husband inside the car. Flyers have been posted around the park where her truck was found , as well as around Sylvania, and Sylvania Township. Prior to her visiting her daughter in Ohio she had a break in at her home in LaGrange, Indiana. Her purse was on the counter, however, the only items stolen was her cell phone and a butcher knife. It was a special knife in which the tip was cut off by Mrs. Sackrider’s late husband and used for cutting pies that she baked. Her daughter fears someone may have intended to harm her at that break-in and changed their mind. Now fear exists that perhaps the same person may have caused her disappearance in Ohio. Although her family suspects she may have been the victim of foul play, Sylvania Township Police Det. Jake Albright said nothing yet indicates that is the case, but authorities are “exploring every avenue.” Albright said police found no significant clues in the pickup truck, a blue 2003 Chevy Silverado.
