The family and friends of a missing Tuscaloosa woman are engaged in a desperate search. 44-year-old Lisa Ann Green has been missing for more than three months.
On July 27, 2007, Green took a trip to a grocery store in Tuscaloosa. She made a purchase and left. Everything after that is a mystery.

"I don't know what to think. Nobody just disappears off the face of the earth" said Green’s father, G.C. Skipper.
And yet that appears to be what has happened. For more than three months Green's family and friends have been desperately searching for 44 year old woman.
"You just don't walk off and leave your son and leave your clothes and the TV going as if you were going to return home, if you're going to run away,” said Skipper.
For Tuscaloosa police the disappearance of Lisa Ann Green is as haunting as it is baffling.
“We have no good leads as to where Lisa Ann can be," said Captain Loyd Baker with the Tuscaloosa Metro Homicide Unit.
Baker says the unit's involvement in the case is unusual, and with good reason.
“In this case due to some circumstances, we went ahead and took the case because there are some unusual circumstances that may lead us to believe foul play may have been involved," said Baker.
July 27th, Lisa Ann Green was last seen at Food World supermarket in Five Points.
"We have a photo of her going into a grocery store in Five Points and that was the last time she was ever seen" said Baker.
But it's what detectives don't have that could be key to the puzzle. There's no idea what happened when she left the grocery store. Only her vehicle, a silver Dodge 1,500, was left behind.
Skipper describes his daughter as optimistic and someone who could see the humor and good in any situation.
"I thought, when she was a child, she was going to do TV commercials. She used to stand in front of the mirror with hair spray and do the commercial and spray. Of course we would have to clean up the mirror and I thought, oh god, she's going to be in entertainment," said Skipper.
Her father says through her adult years, Lisa maintained a healthy relationship with her parents and lived nearby and visited often.
"She came over here after work that Friday and you know we visited. We talked. She had just gotten a raise at work, which just delighted her. She was doing well and that was the last of it. We haven't seen here since,” said Skipper.
For investigators the sticking point remains at the grocery store. Lisa Ann Green was only inside for five minutes.
If you have any information that will help locate Lisa Ann Green you are urged to call the Tuscaloosa County Sheriffs Office at 205-752-0616.
