Hello, Sleuths.
While discussing this forum with my mum the other day, I admitted that a lot of my participation here is to make me feel a bit better about not being able to help in the case of my own late, beloved aunt, Florence, who went missing in 2005. My mother then suggested that if I feel so strongly about the talents of the people on here that we give the forum a chance to dig into our case.
I will begin the story by noting that neither I nor the LE suspect foul play in this case. It is very likely my aunt died on her daily walk. However, all that anyone has been able to find is one of her feet, and, though we are grateful to have some evidence for closure, the whereabouts of her other remains (which I believe will be found eventually), and what exactly happened in the investigation are still a mystery for us. My father, who just turned 70, still wonders, and worries he'll never have full closure on this before he dies.
I will place info here in pieces in posts, so as to not have to lump everything up in one long rambling narrative. But, I will note what exactly we need from you.
My aunt's case is really very cold, and I am sure there's no "solving" it, really. However, putting the details on here has a three-fold purpose:
1) To share our story, and to give my aunt the investigation she deserves.
2) To find as many LE and media records we can dig up.
3) To press forward to find the rest of her remains so she can have a proper burial, as her sons decided not to have a full funeral for just a foot.
So, basically, I need people who are better than navigating records than I am. I will try to unfold as much information as possible, and I am hoping you might help.
Thank you!
