FL FL - Melisa Brady-Sloan, 23, Orlando, 1 May 1994

[ALansby]

Any friends or family of Melisa, know that your loved one has not been forgotten. Even though justice has certainly been delayed in this case, I pray it will not be denied. :heartbeat:

 

[ALansby]

22 years missing, Melisa.

I think about you often and hope that you will be found and justice will prevail for the person who removed you from this life.

 

[ALansby]

Miss you, Melisa and remember your bright smile, wonderful laugh and incredibly kind, caring heart. Prayers for justice.

 

[ALansby]

Sad anniversary of 25 years missing.
You have not, and will never be forgotten.
Praying for justice, resolution and that you can be returned to your family who loved you so much.

I'm so sorry your going through this

This is a real shot in the dark, but... do you know if she ever had brain surgery?

She did not have brain surgery

I know, same here, overthinking she could be Sanibel Jane Doe. Besides the age (and the brain surgery) they have a grisly lot in common. FL - FL - Sanibel Island, WhtFem, 30-50, #UP5316, floating in the Gulf, Oct 1995

While not stretching my imagination to much I would say no match...but it's weird altogether.

Details of Disappearance​

Melisa was last seen in Orlando, Florida on May 1, 1994. She was supposed to drive to Houston, Texas, and had rented a car at Orlando National Airport. She has never been heard from again. Her rental car was found abandoned, stripped and burned in Pensacola, Florida after her disappearance.

Melisa and her husband, John Sloan, had moved to Florida from Kentucky about a year before her disappearance. They lived in the 1900 block of south Kirkman Road in Orlando. They had moved so John could attend school and train to become a motorcycle mechanic.

Their marriage was troubled, and police went to their residence in response to domestic violence issues twice in the nine months before Melisa vanished. The second time, John was arrested and charged with assaulting Melisa; that case was still pending by the time Melisa went missing and she was due to testify against him the following week.

She left him and went back to Kentucky after the second domestic violence incident, but later reconciled with him and returned to Florida. Shortly before her disappearance, she told a co-worker she was planning to leave her husband.

John said Melisa had packed her things and left him for another man whom he did not know, but her family does not believe this story. Almost all of Melisa's belongings disappeared with her, but she left behind her bathrobe and her pet cat.

John divorced Melisa months after her disappearance and remarried, but his second wife died of a drug/alcohol overdose. He now lives in Washington state with his third wife and children. He has refused to cooperate with the investigation into Melisa's disappearance.

Melisa was employed as a licensed practical nurse at the time of her disappearance; she enjoyed her job. She graduated from Bardstown High School and Spencerian College. She was close to her family and they do not believe she would have left without telling anyone.

Her credit cards, driver's license, Social Security number and nursing license haven't been used since her disappearance. Foul play is suspected in her case, which remains unsolved.

Very strange!

<<Two jail escapees from Oklahoma kidnapped her father from a truck stop off I-65 in Hardin County and took him to the woods in southern Bullitt County. They shot Frank Brady twice and left him to bleed to death less than three years before Melisa's disappearance.

No one has ever been charged in Melisa's disappearance. Foul play has not been ruled out.>>
