Circumstances of Disappearance
On February 26, 1989, Lisa Geise disappeared from her Norcross office.
Someone had started a fire at the picture frame company where Lisa worked. The fire had triggered the company's sprinkler system. The sprinklers were not connected to a fire alarm, so the water had poured down for hours undetected. When employees had arrived that morning, the water was ankle deep. And by the desk of Lisa, the same spot where the fire was started, there was a pool of blood in the water.
Throughout the day, Gwinnett County Police had organized a massive search for Lisa. During that search they found Lisa's purse on the roof of a nearby building. Nothing was missing from the purse but the keys to Lisa's 1983 Nissan Pulsar. The vehicle was found parked a block away from the office building.
Detectives found a blood-smeared 10-pound doorstop discarded in the woods near the company. They also had found a cloth mail cart smeared with blood in the same woods. And faint blood stains were found on the door of a company van.
All the employees of Lisa's company, her fiancé and her roommates, were rule out as suspects.
Lisa had been just weeks from her wedding day when she vanished. She had lived in Gwinnett County for about a year before she vanished. She is a native of Pensacola, FL.

Search, Dig for Missing Georgia Woman Ends in Greer

Gwinett County, Georgia Police investigators say evidentiary items - but no human remains were located - during a two-week search in Greer in a nearly two decades old missing person case.
Georgia investigators say they got a tip in the investigation of Lisa Giese, who disappeared on February 26, 1989, that led them to property off Becky Gibson Road. Crews had been digging in an old well and surrounding area for two weeks.


The Greenville County Sheriff's Office says the excavation of a site was completed early Friday morning.
The Gwinnett County Police Department says their investigators will return to Georgia to continue the investigation. A written news release says information regarding how a Cold Case investigator was led to the South Carolina property, as well as the evidentiary items found there, will not be released at this time to maintain the integrity of this case.
Currently, no suspects have been identified in this case. This investigation is ongoing.
Authorities say the homeowner of the property on Becky Gibson Road is not connected to the case in any way. The homeowner allowed investigators to do whatever needed to be done to get to the bottom of the cold case.
The Greenville County Sheriff's Office says it will take several days to put the soil back in the hole left from the investigation.
The 1989 missing persons case of was assigned to a Gwinnett County Police Cold Case investigator approximately 18 months ago.
