Police: Search for missing mother has turned to recovery
Dayton police detectives believe there is slim hope that Angela Hild, 37, who has been missing since Thursday, is still alive.
They are now calling the search for the mother of a 5-year-old son a “recovery” effort.
The grim prognosis for her well-being comes after the extraordinary events over the weekend when her husband, Michael Hild, shot at police in Melbourne, Fla., and was then killed when officers returned fire on Saturday, Aug. 23.
Dayton police believe Michael Hild, 43, abducted Angela and then harmed her. They fear she is already dead.
Sgt. Tom Flanders said Tuesday her case has turned from a missing person to an abducted person.
“We certainly fear for her well-being,” he said.
Flanders said Michael Hild is a violent man and was known to carry guns in his prosthetic leg that he lost in a gunfight with Michigan police years ago.
He was shot again Saturday after he rear-ended another vehicle and drove away in the same Chevrolet Impala he was seen driving in the Dayton area.
Officers spotted the vehicle with Michigan tags Hild stole in Kentucky and pulled him over.
But Hild got out and ran while shooting at the officers, according to Melbourne police.
Dayton police announced Friday they were looking for Hild in connection with the disappearance of Angela Hild after she obtained a temporary protection order on Sunday, Aug. 17.
They have no idea why or how Hild ended up in Melbourne, Fla., or the path he took to get there.
But it certainly made the search for Angela Hild that much more difficult. Michael Hild had been making threats on his wife’s life shortly before she disappeared, Flanders said.
The two have been married since 2001, though Montgomery County court records show she filed for divorce in September 2004, but dismissed the case in February 2005.Angela
Michael Hild was in prison from May 1985 to April 1986 on convictions for receiving stolen property in Greene County and burglary in Montgomery County, according to Ohio prison records.
He returned to prison in December 1992 on aggravated burglary and burglary charges and was paroled Aug. 22, 2001.
