$5,000 offered to help solve woman’s 1988 disappearance

CHARLEVOIX » Authorities are offering a $5,000 reward for information that could help solve the likely homicide of a northern Michigan woman who disappeared in 1988.

Victoria Salisz of Boyne Falls was a 69-year- old waitress at Pippin’s, a restaurant in Boyne City. Her car was in her driveway when she vanished, and her purse and keys were inside the house.

“The totality of the circumstances leads us to believe we are looking at a homicide,” said Lt. Michael Wheat of the Charlevoix County sheriff’s office.
