(STURGIS) - November 30 marks seven years since Brittany Wallace went missing.
Family members and friends will be holding a memorial for Brittany on Sunday. Brittany's father Greg Wallace says he lives in Elkhart and his daughter also lived and went to school there, but he says many people don't know what happened to her. He says by doing the memorial and talking about Brittany, they can get the word out about her case again. (LISTEN ABOVE)?
Wallace, who was also known as Brittany Wallace Shank, was 23 years old at the time she disappeared on November 30, 2018. According to the St. Joseph County Sheriff's Office, Wallace left her grandmother's house after doing laundry. In the 33,000 block of Fawn River Road near Workman Road in Fawn River Township, she had a minor car wreck.
Then St. Joseph County Sheriff Brad Balk says their investigation determined that Wallace knocked on two doors because she had bad cell service. The residents of the second home let her use their phone to call 911. They told deputies that Wallace was bloodied, and was not wearing a coat or socks. That was the last time she was seen.
Shank is just over five feet tall and weighing around 110 pounds. She has hazel eyes and dyed red hair that was shaved on the side.
Law enforcement authorities along with family and friends have searched the area several times, hoping to find clues as to what happened to Brittany, but so far have not been successful.
Sunday's memorial will be held from 2 PM until 4:30 PM at the Sturgis VFW, 264 West Fawn River Road. There will be food and a time for remembrance and encouragement. There will also be a raffle with the proceeds to fund the Brittany Wallace Memorial & Garden.
Following the memorial there will be a bonfire starting at 5 PM at the sight of the memorial garden located at 33339 Fawn River Road.
