Wilda Jean Cross -- Missing Since March 1982 in Louisiana

Details from NamUs**

The case involves the disappearance of Wilda Cross, a record-setting competitive water skier who lived in Webster Parish and operated Cross jewelry store in Bossier City with her husband. State Police took over the investigation as a "cold case" sent to them by the Webster Parish Sheriff's Department. The Crosses were living in Sibley when she disappeared on March 23, 1992. "The last time she was seen was 7:30 that morning, and hasn't been seen since," State Police Trooper Phillip Krouse said. "It's almost like she fell off the face of the earth." Cross had been gone for three days when her husband told her family she had disappeared, Krouse said. The family contacted authorities. Krouse said Mrs. Cross has not contacted family members or friends since March 23, 1992. He's asking for friends with information about Cross to contact State Police.

Wilda Jean Cross has not been seen since March 23rd, 1992 when she was 39 years old. This individual has now been missing for about 29 years as of the original publication date of this blog post.

What stands out with this case is that she was having an affair at the time of her disappearance. The day she disappeared she was supposed to attend a marriage-counseling meeting to try and reconcile with her husband. The husband showed up to this meeting and Wilda did not. Three days later, the husband reported Wilda missing to the family who, in turn, reporting her missing to the police.

I found what I believed to be her mailing address on Ancestry in 1992 to be RR 1 POB 499 which I am interpreting as Range Road 1 Post-office box 499 with a zip of 71073. That sounds like a road-side mailbox kind of address as opposed to her home address, which would be her last-known location in this case.


The missing person did not have any articles or items associated with her missing person's reports, at least of the sources that I consulted. Thank you for reading. If have any information about this case, consider contacting the authorities.
