Husband of missing Charlotte woman holds hope for safe return

By: David Kernodle

CHARLOTTE — Family members of a missing Mecklenburg County woman are fearing the worst.

Investigators say Holly Fischer was last seen Monday leaving her parents home in Tennessee. Several agencies have been looking for her.

Fischer's husband, Ali Givit, is staying in Charlotte while authorizes search for his wife.

“I'm hoping they can find her as soon as possible,” said Givit.

“We were supposed to meet when she come back Charlotte. She was supposed to call me on Monday so I called and texted her but she never responded,” said Givit.

Givit and Fischer are legally married but currently separated.

“I know it has been real tough on her,” said Givit.

He hopes her disappearance is her way of taking time off.

Search continues for missing Charlotte woman

By Steve Lyttle | The Charlotte Observer
Posted: Friday, May. 31, 2013

Crews searched on foot and by helicopter Friday in North Carolina’s mountains, looking for a 39-year-old Charlotte woman who hasn’t been seen since leaving her parent’s home Monday in Tennessee.

~Snipped~

This is a complex investigation, being conducted by several law enforcement agencies,” Hillary Coward, a spokeswoman for the Knox County (Tenn.) Sheriff’s Office, said Friday.

Authorities say Fischer used her bank card Monday afternoon at a convenience store on Interstate 40 in Newport, Tenn., east of Knoxville and along the route she always traveled between her parents’ home and Charlotte. She has not been seen since.

~Snipped~

The Ashe County Sheriff’s Office says her cell phone was last used about 5 p.m. Thursday somewhere in the rugged, mountainous area near the Ashe-Wilkes county line. Searchers looked Thursday along N.C. 16 and the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the search expanded to the eastern part of the county Friday.

There also have been no reported sightings of the car she was driving.

Friends of missing Charlotte woman think foul play is involved

by MICHELLE BOUDIN / NBC Charlotte

Updated today at 11:21 PM




CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Friday night there was still no sign of Holly Fischer, a Charlotte woman who vanished on her way home from a trip to Tennessee.

It's been four days since anyone has seen or heard from Fischer and her best friend told NBC Charlotte that she's convinced she's in trouble here in Charlotte.

~Snipped~

“I feel some kind of foul play occurred in Charlotte and I feel like somehow that phone of hers was put in Ashe county for a reason because people knew there was a family home up there and it was a way of getting people to look somewhere else,” Stafford said.

Now she's just hoping people in Charlotte will be able to bring her friend home.

Missing Charlotte woman's body found in Wilkes County

Updated 5:15 PM
By: Jenna Barnes


~Snipped~

Search parties on Sunday went looking for the missing 39-year-old along the Ashe-Wilkes county line.

A member of the search party noticed broken trees around the accident scene Sunday night. Rescue teams tried to reach her car.

They were searching that area because of Fischer's cell phone, which pinged off a nearby cell phone tower.

Her car went over the embankment just a few feet from a guard rail.

Investigators are still trying to figure out why Fischer's car crashed. They said there's no evidence of braking or swerving to avoid the cliff.

Wilkes County sheriff doesn't know if foul play is involved. Deputies are treating it as a death investigation for now.

Body of missing North Carolina woman found at bottom of 800-foot embankment

Published June 03, 2013 / FoxNews.com

Holly Fischer, 39, Missing Since May 27, 2013 -- Newport, TN / Charlotte, NC Fischer660

Authorities found the body of Holly Fischer, 39, of Charlotte, near Highway 16 along the border of Wilkes and Ashe counties. Rescue crews tried to rappel down an 800-foot embankment late Sunday after a friend of the family spotted what looked like the 2004 silver Infinity Fischer was last seen driving as she left her parents’ house in Knoxville, Tenn., but rough terrain and darkness hampered efforts.

Rescuers resumed the search early Monday and found Fischer’s body nearby, authorities said. It was not clear if she was thrown from the vehicle or managed to climb out before dying.

"Wilkes County deputies, Ashe County deputies, the Highway Patrol and the SBI are investigating. The car was going only 30-35 mph when it went over the embankment, troopers said.

Authorities used cellphone tracking to determine Fischer was in North Wilkesboro on Monday before she disappeared. Her parents have a home there."

Holly Fischer's car recovered from below N.C. 16 North later Monday

Shew said that because it was near the car and other circumstantial evidence, investigators believe the body found when investigators and others reached the scene about 10 a.m. Monday was Ms. Fischer and that she was thrown from the vehicle. Business cards with her name were found there.

A spokesman for the state medical examiner’s office in Chapel Hill, where the decomposed body was taken Monday, said it could be three to four months before an autopsy is completed and results are available. The spokesman said the office doesn’t release preliminary autopsy results.

Shew said there doesn’t appear to be any foul play involved with the death and there is no evidence indicating Ms. Fischer lost control of the car before it plummeted down a steep mountainside with cliffs before stopping 800 to 1,000 feet from N.C. 16.

An N.C. Highway Patrol spokesman and others at the scene said there was no evidence of the car's brakes being applied on N.C. 16, an asphalt parking lot or grass before it went down the embankment.

Searches by personnel from the Wilkes and Ashe sheriff’s departments, Ashe Rescue Squad and Wilbar and Glendale Springs fire departments and others Wednesday and Thursday failed to produce signs of Ms. Fischer.

They searched along the Blue Ridge Parkway near N.C. 16 and later in the Darnell Creek Road area off Sheets Gap Road in Wilbar due to signals detected there from Ms. Fischer’s cell phone. At least one law enforcement officer looked where it was later determined Ms. Fisher’s car went off N.C. 16.
