(AP) Where is Ann? That question has plagued the people in this small eastern Indiana community since Ann Louise Harmeier disappeared in mid-September. Miss Harmeier, 20, lifelong resident of Cambridge City, could be considered nothing more than a statistic one of the hundreds of persons reported missing in Indiana so far this year, in time destined to be erased from police computers and. human memories.

These people are searching for Ann Harmeier, and they will not give up.

as planned. The next day, she and Mrs. Harmeier retraced Ann's route and discovered Ann's locked car, emergency lights, flashing, abandoned by the roadside Where is Ann? That question, in bold, black type, is spread throughout the state on bumper stickers, posters and billboards, all part of a massive advertising campaign that began the weekend after Ann disappeared. "Two days after Ann was reported missing, 1 called Mrs. Harmeier and asked if there was anything I could do," said David Weston, Dublin Elementary School principal.

"That's when Ernie Alder -r a retired state police sergeant and another neighbor of the Harmeiers and I decided to put out the posters." Thousands of those posters, bearing a picture and description of the blue-eyed, blond coed, have been distributed throughout the nation with truckers, Weston said. Weston, Alder and the Rev. Miss Taul were the movers behind the Ann Harmeier Search and' Reward Committee, an ad hoc group responsible so far for collecting more than $10,000 in pledges and about $5,000 in cash donations for information leading to the young woman's return. The' group mobilized small search parties of area residents and Bloomington to help police scour parts of the Morgan-Monroe State Forest and conducted private searches of remote areas in southern Indiana and Kentucky. The committee acquired six billboards between Cambridge City and Bloomington, -displaying Ann's picture and pleading for information that might provide a break in a month-long Investigation that so far has led nowhere.

Stories for two national magazines, a public broadcasting documentary and local television and radio spots are in the works, scheduled for release this month. All are being paid for through donations from residents and concerned citizens as far- away as California and Florida. Police, observers and even the citizens themselves are amazed at the intensity of their conviction to continue the i search for Ann. But all agree the key to the community zeal lies with Ann herself. Where is Ann? Ann Harmeier lives in the hearts and minds of these people, for her church work, her devotion to her mother, her talent.

Ann's father, Robert, -died of a brain tumor when she was 4 years old, leaving Mrs. Harmeier, a high school and elementary music teacher, to raise the couple's only child. Ann returned home often while at IU, "probably more than she should have," her mother said. "She loved her. home." "Her father and I went to IU, so Ann just had to go there," Mrs.

Harmeier explained. "If( we hadn't gone there, she probably wouldn't have either, and then she wouldn't have been on that road." An IU drama major and an A student, Ann's gift for singing and acting landed her a supporting role in a university musical. She and two other girls performed as a singing trio at community functions for years. "She always was ready to use her talent," the Rev. Miss Taul noted, "even if it changing her schedule.

That was very important to her." "Ann is very special just the most special person very mature, sensitive and so good 4o efderly people, even though she has no reason to care about them. She just does," the Rev. Miss Taul said. "It would be a horrible insensitive community that wouldn't unite to find her." MRS, SMITH comes of this, it has shown them they can work together. It will help them in the future," Marjorie Harmeier, Ann's mother, said.

"They've worked together before you know, we've had boys in bad wrecks and in comas, more than our share of things like that but never anything like this."
