Circumstances of Disappearance
Diane Wolf was last seen on January 29, 1999.

That day Wolf had worked an 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift at Hanover Foods on Route 116, relieving her mother, who ran the same machine on the 3 to 11 p.m. shift.

She left work, went to her Conewago Township home, put her lunch box on the kitchen table, and went to the bank. Surveillance cameras at the Allfirst bank on Dart Drive confirmed Wolf deposited $300 at about 7:33 a.m. that morning. Wolf hasn't been seen or heard from since.

Family and co-workers began to worry when Wolf didn't show up at work that night. The police were called the next day. After family members notified 911, the Conewago Township Police was dispatched to Wolf's home at 19 Sycamore Lane. The investigation was then turned over to Pennsylvania State Police.

Her vehicle, described as a turquoise 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix was located, locked and secured, two days later, in the Weis Market parking lot, where her sister worked, in Hanover, PA.

Wolf left behind her cell phone, which was uncharacteristic of her. And none of her clothing or personal belongings were missing from her closet. Her purse has never been found and her credit cards, which Wolf often used instead of cash, have never been used.

Her family doesn't think she left on her own. She also had plans at the time. Her dauhter, then pregnant, was supposed to move from Virginia to her mom's home. Wolf had arranged a baby shower and put a crib on layaway. She'd already scheduled the four weeks of vacation she'd take from work that year.

She was declared legally dead in 2006. After hearing testimony from Wolf's husband, son and two investigators on the case, an Adams County Judge declared Wolf deceased. Her date of death is listed as January 30, 2006. Her husband testified they never had any serious marital problems that would have caused her to leave. And Diane had never been unaccounted for before.

I wonder if there were any sightings of her at the parking lot where her sister worked and if the car had been there for the 2 days before it was found.
 
Houston Mom - when I saw the comparison I got chills. They are eerily close.

I mapquested Hanover, Pennsylvania to Pontiac, Michigan and found that it was an 8 hour and 37 minute trip. That's a really long distance but not impossible.

You'd have to wonder how and why she would end up so far away...

In Namus it says she could have been reported missing as far back as September 1998 but gives a postmortem interval of 4 months. If this is her, maybe it was colder and she was preserved better during the winter months???
 
I'm surprised to find this case on here. I worked at the same company she worked at, but didn't know her. Her husband also worked there, he has since died about a year or so ago. Just the other day I drove by the parking lot where her car was found and thought of her. There was talk at her work of what happened to her, not to go into too many details, but from what I've heard, the key to finding her has to do to her associations at work.
