On November 02, 1992, Mary Ellen Wise was abducted from her garage in her Vero Highlands home while doing laundry. Her body was found six days later about 200 yards northwest of Peanut Lake in Ft. Pierce, FL. Mary Ellen had been bludgeoned to death.

Bumping for Mary Ellen on the anniversary of her abduction; it's been a long time and she deserves justice. I don't usually bump without an article or something relevant to provide, but I literally can't find any other info/articles for her other than what's already been posted. That made my heart hurt for her, I sincerely hope she hasn't been 'forgotten.'

Not forgotten for sure.
I assume this video was released to bump this case this year in time for the 24th anniversary of her abduction.

We're sorting through these cold cases looking for any similarities to one we are investigating. This murder is actually one we believe was committed by the same person that committed the one we are researching. The links and article below are the 3 other cases we believe were committed by the same person due to some information we've obtained, along with one from Mary's. Any thoughts?
What happened to Mary Ellen Wise?
Family of slain chiropractor seeks tips 26 years after her death
Plea For Help In Solving Murder Of Wife, Mother Bonnie Goodson
And this one doesn't have many articles, but here is a blurb from one of them:
- The seventh killing happened Nov. 21 when a discount ticket salesman was beaten to death on West U.S. Highway 192.
Tourists stopping for directions found Antonio Zuco, 50, in the bathroom of his ticket shop and tourist information center.
An undisclosed amount of cash and number of tickets to area attractions were taken, along with Zuco's wallet. Deputies think the murder weapon might be a hammer. The Osceola Sheriff's Office is still investigating.

Mary Ellen Wise: New evidence found in cold case murder from 1992 in Vero Beach
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, Fla. -- Detectives with the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office have made a big discovery that could bring them closer to closing a decades-old cold case.
Mary Ellen Wise was abducted and murdered in November, 1992.
23-years later, detectives have found the car she was abducted in nearly 1000 miles away, hoping DNA from her killer may still be inside.
The car is sitting inside the Indian River County Forensic Services building, where detectives have already processed the car and sent potential DNA evidence off to a lab to be processed. It could take a couple months to get back any results.
Mary Ellen’s sister, Sharon Correa, still thinks about the day her sister was taken every day.
“Monday, November 2nd, 1992,” Correa said.
Correa still lives in the home where Mary Ellen was abducted.
“Mary Ellen was doing the laundry that morning. Right here,” Correa said. “She was abducted right from this house,” Correa said, while she was doing that laundry.
Correa described Mary Ellen was abducted in her own car. “They went clear up to Melbourne to a bank, to an ATM,” Correa said. Then, Correa said Wise was forced to take money out of a bank closer to their home and write a check.
Correa thinks someone thought she had access to money that she didn’t have.
“He, I mean, brutally murdered her,” Correa said.
Mary Ellen was reported missing for nearly a week. “I sat by that phone for 6 days, waiting,” Correa said.
Her body was later found in a field in St. Lucie County.
Wise's car was found shortly after the crime, but forensic technology at the time was limited. Detectives kept the car for about a month, but no useful evidence was found at the time.
The car was given back to family in Pennsylvania, and eventually sold.
“I never thought I would see that car again,” Correa said.
Detectives, determined to crack the case, recently decided to see if they could track the car down again.
To their surprise, the car was still in tact in a junk yard in Pennsylvania. Detectives went to Pennsylvania to recover the car, and bring it back to Indian River County.
“All be it 24 years, there’s a lot of stories to be told about this automobile,” said Indian River County Sheriff Deryl Loar. “We know for a fact that there is physical evidence in this car that is going to help us conclude this case.”
Loar says it’s very likely there is evidence in the car that was overlooked decades ago.
Now, potential hair, finger prints or blood will be subject to testing with newer technology, more capable of making a DNA match to the killer.
Correa says the last few years have been extremely promising for the case. The discovery of the car is just one more step closer to closure that she’s never doubted she would receive.
“I believe in Karma,” Correa said. “If we can place who was in that vehicle, that’s big and important news."
Correa says she has also purposely kept the home where Mary Ellen was abducted and the same phone number should that murderer come back around.
Detectives believe the killer still lives in Vero Beach.
