Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Lina disappeared from Austintown, Ohio on April 8, 1998. She was supposed to travel to Dallas, Texas and then to Laredo, Texas, but it's not clear if she ever arrived there. Her husband, Edward Geddes, didn't report her missing until October that year. On April 20, Lina's body was found off State Route 276, 40 miles north of Lake Powell, in Utah. She had been shot in the head, then wrapped in several layers of plastic and duct tape, a sleeping bag and a carpet. The body remained unidentified until November 2018. Edward was considered a suspect in Lina's disappearance, but he was never charged and committed suicide in Nevada in the early 2000s. He is no longer a suspect in Lina's murder, however. A person of interest in her death is Scott Kimball, a serial killer serving a seventy-year sentence in a Colorado prison. His suspected and confirmed victims include his uncle Terry Kimball, a woman named Leann Emry, and Jennifer Marcum, whose body has never been found.

A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
