39 Year Old North Carolina Woman Holly Christine Fischer Missing Since 5/27/13 in Knoxville, TN (Update: Phone Pinged in Ashe & Wilkes Counties) (Update: Found Deceased)

 

39 year old Holly Christine Fischer from Charlotte, NC has been missing since Monday, May 27, 2013 while visiting family in Knoxville, TN. Holly Christine Fischer left her parents’ house in Knoxville to return home to North Carolina on Monday. She has not been heard from or seen since. She was reported missing by her parents on Wednesday at the Knox County Sheriffs department. Fischer was driving a (updated) dark gray 2004 Infiniti FX35, with North Carolina license plate number XYH6678. According to a police report, Fischer’s father said his daughter was upset when she left his home because she’s going through a divorce. The father said he contacted Fischer’s husband, but he said he has not seen her since she went to Tennessee.

Holly Christine Fischer description:

  • white female
  • 39 years old
  • 5’10″ and weighs about 140 pounds
  • She was last seen in Newport wearing a white blouse, blue jean shorts and sandals.

Authorities are focusing their search on Ashe and Wilkes counties, about 100 miles north of Charlotte, NC. This is a rather bizarre route to take home from Knoxville, TN to Charlotte, NC. Having made the trip in the past from Knoxville to Charlotte, I took Rt. 40 east toward Asheville, then Rt. 16 pretty much the rest of the way. The trip should only take about 4 to 4-1/2 hours. It almost appears that she stopped Monday afternoon, at a convenience store in Newport, TN and used her bank card and then took the longest possible way home.  Holly’s phone was pinged in Ashe County, NC where the family has a condo; however, neither she nor the car was there. Instead, the ping took authorities to a rugged area. Then the cell phone was pinged in Wilkes County, NC. Now it appears the phone has either been turned off or the battery has died.

Investigators learned Fischer last used her bank card Monday afternoon, at a convenience store in Newport, Tenn. The store is situated along Interstate 40, her usual route of travel when visiting her parents. There has been no bank activity since, police said.

Fischer’s cell phone records indicate her phone pinged a tower on Thursday, in a mountainous area along N.C. 16 and the Blue Ridge Parkway, about 100 miles north of Charlotte in Ashe County, the county sheriff’s office said.

Officials in Tennessee are searching for a 39-year-old Charlotte woman who went missing while visiting her family.

Tennessee police said 39-year-old Holly Fischer left her parents’ house in Knoxville on Monday and was traveling home to Charlotte. She hasn’t been seen or heard from since, according to WSOC.

According to a police report, Fischer’s father said his daughter was upset when she left his home because she’s going through a divorce. The father said he contacted Fischer’s husband, but he said he has not seen her since she went to Tennessee.
