DAYTON — After interviewing family and friends of Michael Hild and his missing wife, Angela Hild, Dayton police are "certain she has been murdered," Dayton Police Lt. John Huber said Wednesday, Aug. 27. He declined to elaborate.

Angela Hild, 37, of Tuttle Avenue has been missing since Aug. 21, when she failed to pick up her 5-year-old son from school.

Police said Tuesday they believe her husband abducted her that day. He was shot and killed Saturday in a shootout with Melbourne, Fla., police after a traffic accident.

Huber said detectives have been talking with family and friends of the Hilds. Those interviews led police to recovering Angela Hild's 1996 Geo Prism at the Woodman Park apartment complex near Woodman Drive and U.S. 35 on Wednesday. Police found the car about 3 p.m. and towed it away to be examined by detectives.

Sarah Steele, a Woodman Park resident, said a neighbor first noticed the car Tuesday morning while walking a dog and that it stood out because few cars are parked in that lot.
