Details of Disappearance: Margaret Becker, 81, is considered endangered. They say she was last seen at a CVS in south Sebring on Friday at around 4:30 p.m. Officials say she is driving a blue 2018 Chevrolet Colorado with an Ohio license plate, reading HOB-8214. On Jan. 31, detectives learned that a vehicle matching the one Becker was driving the night she disappeared went through the front gate at the Avon Park Bombing Range around 7:30 p.m. Jan. 17.
The person working the main entrance to the range said Becker was the only person in the vehicle and she did not stop to check in at the guardhouse. The Highlands County Sheriff’s Office conducted a 106,000-acre search Saturday morning that focused on a boat ramp leading into the Kissimmee River. Members of the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) found Margaret Becker’s vehicle in the Kissimmee River Saturday afternoon, but she is still missing. The vehicle was still in drive and three of the windows were rolled down, which investigators said indicates that Becker was in the vehicle when it entered the water. However, she was not inside when it was pulled up to the bank.
