Markham, a 22-year-old art student, went missing from her Dorshire Drive residence during the early morning hours of Aug. 14, 2011. Police and volunteers looked for months to find the young woman who vanished leaving behind her purse, keys and her dog.
The case gained national media attention as days turned into months with no news on Markham’s whereabouts.
Then on April 7, 2013, skeletal remains were found in a remote wooded area in Cedar Grove, Indiana. Within days, confirmation came that the remains were Markham’s, and the Franklin County coroner ruled her death a homicide. However, her exact cause of death could not be determined.
Her case has been investigated by the Fairfield Police Department and the Butler County Sheriff’s Office. A reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Markham’s killer has grown to $100,000 over the years.
