VT VT - Audrey Groat, 41, Montpelier, 21 Aug 1993

Groat's daughters want answers, difficult to stomach as those may be. Jamesina believes an ex-boyfriend her mother confronted the day of her disappearance is responsible. Police interviewed the man, Paul Jarvis, and later charged him with an unrelated crime that resulted in a year-long prison term. However he was never charged in connection with Groat's vanishing.
Not sure why it say Paul this article identifies him as Patrick.

Details of Disappearance

Groat was last seen in Montpelier, Vermont on August 21, 1993. She spent time shopping and drinking beer with her boyfriend, then he dropped her off at a park-and-ride commuter lot at 10:00 p.m. so she could get her pickup truck.

Groat has never been heard from again and her truck was found at the park-and-ride after her disappearance, with the keys locked inside. Her purse was in the bushes nearby. She left six daughters behind; four of them were minors and still lived at home.

Groat's boyfriend was at one time considered the prime suspect in her disappearance. He admitted having sex with a minor relative of hers, and was convicted of lewd and lascivious conduct in connection with this, but he denies any involvement in Groat's disappearance. He is no longer the focus of the investigation.

Following her disappearance, Audrey's young daughters went into the foster care system.

Several searches for Groat's remains have been conducted over the years, but no evidence has been located. She resided in Northfield, Vermont in 1993 and some agencies state she disappeared from there.

Groat was declared legally dead sometime after her disappearance and has a gravestone in a cemetery in Middletown, Connecticut, where she grew up. Her daughters describe her as a dedicated mother who worked hard to provide for her family. Foul play is suspected in her case and she is presumed to be deceased.
