I know the area where she was last seen very well (which is now actually a part of the campus) and have travelled that road many times. I am an alum of Indiana Wesleyan and this is one of those stories that stuck with me. Tricia's parents believe she is dead, and only hope to one day recover her body and lay her to rest.ĭid Hall kill Tricia? And if so, where is the body? If he didn't, what happened to Tricia?

He even brought investigators to an area near the Mississinewa river, claiming he had buried her there, but no evidence was ever found. One of them, Larry DeWayne Hall, who was charged with killing another teen, actually confessed to Tricia's murder, but later on recanted his statement, saying he had nothing to do with her disappearance. The police had three suspects in the case but none of them were ever charged. Investigators stated that 6 or 7 people were playing basketball on courts adjacent to the community pool at the time Tricia disappeared, but no one has ever come forward regarding her disappearance. Her bloodstained jeans, shirt and shoes were found near a community pool, which was between the grocery store and campus. Tricia purchased a soda and a magazine from the store and left back for campus.

On the night of March 29th, around 8:00 pm, Tricia decided to take a break from studying and headed to Marsh Supermarket, just half a mile from the university campus, for a snack. In 1993 Tricia Reitler was a freshman at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, IN. Archived The disappearance of Tricia Lynn Reitler
