Missing woman talked of abuse
Sinclair English instructor says Angela Hild 'talked about it in conversations and her papers.'

DAYTON — Angela Hild was trying to re-create herself at Sinclair Community College, according to one of her English instructors.
Leaving her husband, Michael D. Hild, 43, and his physical abuse was part of that renaissance, adjunct English instructor Laura Elizabeth said.
Elizabeth said Angela Hild, 37, wrote about being abused.
"She talked about it in conversations and her papers," Elizabeth said. "You could just tell it was something she had to deal with in the past."
Dayton police said they have few clues about Angela Hild's whereabouts and little hope she's still alive. Hild went missing Thursday, Aug. 21, and police believe she was abducted by her estranged husband. The odds of finding her worsened Saturday, Aug. 23, when Melbourne, Fla., police shot and killed Michael Hild after he fired a gun at officers. The officers were chasing him on foot after an apparent hit-and-run accident, Melbourne police said.
Dayton Special Victims Unit Sgt. Tom Flanders said the search for Angela Hild has become a "recovery" effort.
"We certainly fear for her well-being," Flanders said.
All that's known about Michael Hild's actions and whereabouts between Thursday and Saturday is that he stole Michigan tags off a car in Kentucky and put them on his green Chevrolet Impala. Police are still looking for Angela Hild's 1996 black Geo Prism.
