Summary

In early December 1984, not long after the disappearances of 23-year-olds Catherine Davis and Cindy Heller, 21-year-old Angela Ewert spent an evening getting sized for an engagement ring. After leaving her fiance’s house to head to her home in west Arlington, Angela stopped for gas at a southwest Fort Worth 7-Eleven convenience store. She was never seen alive again. The following day, her father found her maroon, 1984 Mercury Topaz abandoned on the 300 block of Southeast Interstate Loop 820. A tire had been changed, but there were no obvious signs of violence. After several large-scale searches over the next couple of years, the Ewert Family, and police, continually came up empty handed. Nearly nine years later, the answer to one question was finally answered: where was she?

If you have any information about the murder of Angela Leigh Ewert, please call the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit at (817) 392-4307.
