Rebecca Ann Ware, a 34-year-old mother of three, was last seen on October 29, 2010, in St. Augustine, Florida. She had left her job at Hydro Aluminum North America that afternoon and disappeared shortly afterward. When Ware did not return home, her family reported her missing on November 2, and her car was found abandoned in a Publix parking lot a few days later.
Ware had a history of abusive relationships, and at the time of her disappearance, she was living with her boyfriend, Timothy Lee Johnson. Johnson had a violent past and had been in and out of prison for serious offenses, including kidnapping and attempted murder. Ware's family and friends reported that she had been trying to leave him due to ongoing physical abuse.
Despite her plans to move out, Johnson’s mother claimed the couple was happy and even considering marriage.
In 2012, based on evidence, including surveillance footage and witness reports, Johnson was charged with second-degree murder, even though Ware’s body was never found. He later pled guilty in 2016 and was sentenced to 19 years in prison. Ware’s disappearance remains classified as a homicide despite her remains not being recovered.Last Seen: Oct 29, 2010
