The Joplin Police Department has been investigating the missing person case of Tracy Pickett, missing since August 12, 1992.
Through the course of the investigation, dozens of leads have been followed up on. Earlier this year two ponds northwest of Joplin were scanned with side scan sonar by the department of natural resources as part of the investigation.
For the last three days of this week, the two ponds were drained and hand searched with the assistance of Joplin Public Works Employees and PWC equipment (particularly a new 6 inch water pump and an underwater camera system provided by the Sewer Department).
PWC employees worked side by side with our detectives and were a great resource in this task. No evidence in this case was located, but we greatly appreciate their assistance. We continue to investigate, and the full details of the case are below:
