Cold Case - Misty Ann

I’m doing this episode for my new podcast to talk about my niece that has been missing for 10 years. She disappeared on May 22, 2013 from the Pilot Point/Denton Area.  She was 35 years old at the time and her life was anything but normal.  Misty Ann Wilder Lowder was born on September 22, 1977 in Dallas County.  Her parents were married in May of 1976.  Misty had a troubled childhood as she was sexually abused by her father, as was I at the age of 14.  Misty was much younger.  Unfortunately, I surmise that this is what started Misty on her downward spiral.  Misty didn’t always make the best decisions or choices in her life.  She had 4 children by the time she 25 years old.  However, I think all together she had been pregnant 8 times. Misty married Jamie Lowder in December of 1996.  They had two children at that time.  Because of their choices and decisions, they eventually divorced.  Misty and Jamie both had spent time in jail.  In 2008, Misty started serving a sentence in prison for property theft of $1500 plus prior convictions.  I don’t have any information on the prior convictions, but I do know that Misty had drug issues as does her brother John.  Their mother’s second husband was a drug addict, and I believe he was the one that got the kids hooked on heroin.  I have no proof and it is just speculation. His name is Kevin Jacobs and I believe he is still serving time in Huntsville, but the damage was already done. When Misty was about 2 years old, I used to take her for ice cream or a ride in the car.  I taught her to yell and whistle at the football boys when they were practicing.  She was such a wonderful little thing.  My senior year of high school I was taking photography and I took her to the school to be my model.  We had a blast.  Misty lost custody of her children which hurt her, but she was trying to get her life together.  She was allowed supervised visits as her mother had custody of the children. That was what was supposed to happen on May 22, 2013.  She was coming to see the kids as it was her weekend.  I had spoken to Misty somewhere around 5:30 or 6:00pm that day.  She was in a pickup truck with someone named Steve. It was raining and I was still on my way home.  I told her to call me back later, but I never heard from her again.  A missing person’s report was filed on May 27, 2013 by her mother and that’s when the investigation began. The man she was staying with or working for was CJ Stubblefield Jr. She was living there free until she could get her finances situated.  It was his truck that Misty was driving when she disappeared.  They found the truck behind a restaurant on the 25th of May and Misty had personal items in the truck.  Her phone, a laptop, her ID and some other personal items, but I’m not sure what else.  Misty would never leave her phone behind unless she was not conscious or alive.  She would have had her phone surgical input into her hand if she could.  They girl lived on that phone.  150 texts a day was normal. Many stories started to circulate about what happened to Misty.  Someone named Cheryl Hausenfluk that was an acquaintance to CJ Stubblefield, Jr. apparently gave Misty money and told her to pick up some cleaning supplies and that she needed a house cleaned.  Misty was last seen by Cheryl Hausenfluk but when the police investigated the house, it was filthy.  Misty was last seen in Denton County around 11:00pm.  There are or were more people involved in Misty’s disappearance at least two or three.  I have no names for them.   CJ Stubblefield, Jr, apparently died in his home on June 2, 2021.  Full story available by email with subscription
