Theresa Benn was reported missing on October 19th, just before 7:30 pm.

Theresa, 42, was last seen early that Sunday morning near the Talladega Superspeedway race track in Lincoln, Alabama, where the Geico 500 race was taking place later that evening.

According to NBC Sports, she is the second racing fan to go missing in the last 18 months near the Talladega track. The first was Nicholas Bower, whose body was found less than two weeks after his disappearance in May 2013. Authorities do not suspect that foul play was the cause of his death.

Lincoln investigators believe that Theresa may have had a disagreement with her husband regarding whether or not they were going to attend the race. They are not sure if she ended up making it to the track at all that day.
