The record

Lisa Marie Wallace was 35 when she disappeared from Eufaula in 2012. Her case remains open and unresolved in the U.S. Department of Justice’s NamUs database, where it is listed as MP18851 1.

According to the NamUs record, Wallace’s husband said the couple had argued before she packed a small bag and left on foot. The record says she left behind her 22-month-old daughter 1. The Eufaula Police Department is identified as the primary investigating agency 1.

A 2019 Dothan Eagle/Eufaula Tribune report gave Oct. 27, 2012, as the date Wallace disappeared from her Eufaula home. It also reported that she had two sons in New York in addition to the daughter who lived with her, and that she worked at River City BBQ at the time 5. Those details do not appear in the supplied NamUs extract and have not been independently verified here.

The same newspaper report said law enforcement initially did not believe foul play was involved but later listed Wallace’s husband, Christopher James Wallace, as a person of interest. It reported that Lisa Wallace’s body had not been found 5.

In February 2019, Auburn Police Chief Paul Register said Christopher Wallace was a “strong suspect” in his wife’s disappearance, according to WSFA 4. The statement came after an unrelated Auburn standoff in which Christopher Wallace died. WSFA reported that Register said Christopher Wallace killed a woman and then himself during the standoff 4. No supplied source says he was charged in connection with Lisa Wallace’s disappearance.

The current NamUs record continues to classify Lisa Wallace’s case as open and unresolved 1.
