Paige Marie Renkoski (born February 2, 1960)[1] is a woman from Fowlerville, Michigan who disappeared on May 24, 1990.[2]

Disappearance

Renkoski was last seen on the shoulder of Interstate 96 near Fowlerville, Michigan, talking to a man who was standing next to a maroon-colored minivan. Hours later, the 1986 Oldsmobile she had been driving was found still idling, with her shoes and purse inside.[3] She was previously seen between 2:30 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. at a store that has since closed down,[4] west of Interstate 275 in Canton, where she bought a beer, which was later found in her car. Many people claimed to have seen Renkoski driving west on I-96.[5] One was a woman who said she might have seen Renkoski at a rest-stop kiosk. Others include two long-haul semi drivers who reported seeing an attractive blond who looked like Renkoski and may have passed her when she was driving her vehicle on I-96.[6] Renkoski was last seen wearing a white silk shirt, with a long beaded necklace, and silk patterned slacks.[7]

Investigation

Investigators found the 1986 silver Calais that Renkoski had been driving, but it was not processed as a crime scene because at the time it was considered by the responding officer to be an abandoned vehicle. The car was undamaged and the door was unlocked.[8] The vehicle was later towed. Someone had reported seeing Renkoski near her car at about 3:00pm, and officers had not responded to the scene until after 6:00pm. They then had learned that Renkoski was in fact missing and the car was not abandoned.[9]

Aftermath

When examining the vehicle that Renkoski had been driving, the police found several fingerprints and palm prints, but a match has yet to be identified on any law enforcement databases.

The police have ruled the case a homicide, even though her body has never been located and no one has been charged in her disappearance or death.[10][11] The Michigan Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $2,500 for any information about Renkoski.[12]
