"I have not heard your voice in years, but my heart has conversations with you everyday..."

She was born on September 25th, 1977 to Barbara Covey.

Lisa worked at a restaurant at Gulf Shores. She was a victim of domestic violence at the hands of her alcoholic husband, Chris Wallace. Then, Lisa was diagnosed with a brain tumor and Chris convinced Lisa to move with him to Eufaula to be closer to the University of Alabama Birmingham Medical Center. Before Lisa left, she gave her best friend, Libby Caldwell, a letter saying that if anything were to happen to her, call police to look at Chris first.

In 2011, Lisa gave birth to a daughter, who she named. Lisa was overjoyed, thinking her cancer made children impossible. Lisa wanted to set a better example and not let her daughter to grow up thinking domestic violence was OK. She decided to divorce Chris.

On October 27th, 2012, according to Chris, he had an argument with 35-year-old Lisa at their house located just past the KOA campground in north Eufaula. At 1:00 p.m., he took their daughter to his mother's house, and while they were gone, Lisa packed a bag and left on foot. She never arrived at work for the lunch shift at the River City BBQ that day and has never been heard from again. Her mother reported her missing.

Lisa's family doesn't believe that she would leave her little girl. Neither did the police and they named Chris as a person of interest in her disappearance.

A few days after her disappearance. The man she worked for, Bill Burr, received a text message from her asking for additional money (thousands). Multiple employees that worked with Lisa believed this was related to a large drug transaction that she and her manager Gary McLeod were involved in. Burr, reportedly, did not reply. Multiple witnesses saw and read the text, and when two Eufaula police officers entered the River City Grill after a missing person report was filed, he showed it to them.

At the time there was a couple who saw who they thought was Lisa walking down the road leaving her house past the campground at around noon, but were reluctant to get involved as they thought her disappearance was drug related.

Two weeks after Lisa went missing, cadaver dogs picked up her scent beside the road in the area where she was seen walking in front of the old KOA campground.  The scent stops at a small turnaround spot.

Private Investigator, Kathy Johnston, was hired by Lisa's parents. Johnston claimed that police ignored evidence in the case. She said that a bloody mattress found by another private investigator in the woods off Highway 95 wasn’t tested by police for Lisa’s DNA.

In February of last year, Chris was pulled over by a police officer in a Dollar General parking lot as a potential suspect in a local pharmacy robbery. Chris reportedly shot the officer before he and a female companion drove off. Law enforcement tracked the two to an apartment complex on Stonegate Drive. Chris killed his companion and then himself before a fire broke out in the apartment.

At the time of her disappearance, Lisa was between 5'2" and 5'5" and 145 pounds with red hair, hazel eyes. Wallace had a mole on the top of her right foot and a tattoo of a dolphin on her upper left arm. Her ears were pierced and she had one crooked tooth that showed when she smiled.

Lisa was due to have her tumor removed on December of the year she went missing.


If you have any information, no matter how small, please contact the Eufaula Police Department at 334-687-1200 or Fairhope Police Department at 251-928-2385.

Lisa's daughter is missing her mother. Lisa used to call and text her mother, Barbara Covey, every day and now there is just silence.
