HUNTINGTON, Indiana — Less than a day following the release of information on an alleged murder victim’s vehicle, the car was found in a community southwest of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Just after 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, Wilma Schwartz’s vehicle, a red Pontiac Sunfire, was located in Huntington County, Indiana. The vehicle was found in a parking lot of a business near U.S. 224 and Indiana 3.

“I want to thank the media for pushing out this request last evening,” said Paulding County Sheriff Jason K. Landers. “It took just three hours for a citizen who had seen the evening news to report to their local law enforcement.

“I appreciate the law enforcement in Markle, Indiana, for securing the vehicle so investigators can see if there may be any clues inside,” Sheriff Landers added.

This investigation continues as leads continue to be followed.
