CANADA Canada - Christine Ziomkiewicz, 28, Kingston, Ont, 23 June 1978

Dotr!
To my dismay most links have now vanished, I will do my best to find the most descriptive link.
I just presume that with a handicap such as she had, she would have walked slowly and if she had been followed home from the grocery store, she would have been very aware of it, and she would have locked her door and not answered. She did not have time to put the groceries away, and was not reported missing for 5 days.

The 1978 disappearance of a 27-year-old Queen’s lab technician goes unsolved

  ''Her parents doggedly searched for their daughter, turning to at least one private investigator and psychic for help within the first year of her disappearance.
  
  Their private investigator concluded that Ziomkiewicz had started seeing a new boyfriend shortly before her disappearance, but little came from the revelation.
  
  Another day, Stefan and Joan drove 40 kilometres outside of Kingston to the intersection of Highways 15 and 32 km to look for Ziomkiewicz’s remains on advice from a psychic. They trekked though the forest with shovels for hours, and found nothing.
  
  As time dragged on, her loss wore on the family, according to her brother Chris. There were too many unknowns for them to rest.
  
  “It’s the not knowing,” Chris told The Journal. “If you know what happened, even if it’s the worst of the worst, you can accept it and get over it. When you don’t know and you can’t get closure, it eats away at you.”

''In addition to limited staff assigned to cold cases, time presents a common barrier, according to Finn. Witnesses tend to forget and records aren’t always kept, making verification difficult. As a missing person’s case, police also don’t always have the same lawful authority to investigate as when there’s proof of a crime.

While she is the focus of missing persons notices and true crime message boards, Ziomkiewicz remains in the daily lives of investigators and her family, who learned to live with an empty chair on their first Christmas without her.''

''Anyone with information about Christine’s disappearance is encouraged to contact the Kingston Police’s Major Crimes and Cold Case Unit at 613-549-4660.''

Wondering where CZ may have bought the new sweater, could she have been stalked as she shopped? speculation, imo.

''On June 23, 1978, 27-year-old Christine Ziomkiewicz mysteriously disappeared from her basement apartment on Park Street. With her car still parked outside the building, the Queen’s University lab technician had purchased groceries that day after work and left them on the kitchen table. Dirty dishes were found the sink waiting to be washed, a new sweater still in a bag was on her bed waiting to be worn, and there was no sign of a struggle, Finn said. Her body has never been found and police suspect foul play.

“It’s a true mystery,” Finn said. “When you vanish without a trace, leaving no physical evidence, it makes a case very challenging. With Christine, it’s sad. The family was always looking for answers.”

She probably confided in the man she was dating and perhaps an argument, attempted robbery, rape, or some other reason motivated the man to act violently...
rest in peace

Just a thought, maybe CZ ran into someone when she stopped to buy a sweater, maybe someone she previously helped when she worked at the Y?
Or followed home by a stranger to see where she lived?
speculation.

''She was last seen on June 23, 1978. The following decades revealed little of the 27-year-old Queen’s lab technician’s disappearance. What happened that day left family and police with few answers.

Ziomkiewicz grew up in Kingston with her two brothers, Chris and Bernie. After earning a Bachelor of Science from Brock University, she returned to Kingston in 1974.

She worked a few temporary jobs before securing a position with the Physiology Department at Queen’s, working in the labs of what is now Abramsky Hall.

When she disappeared on June 23, it would’ve been an ordinary Friday evening for her. She simply shopped at the Kingston Centre after work, bought a new sweater, and went home. Arriving at her downtown Kingston apartment on Park Street, she chatted with a neighbour before going inside.

It was the last time anyone heard from her. ''


''Her parents doggedly searched for their daughter, turning to at least one private investigator and psychic for help within the first year of her disappearance.

Their private investigator concluded that Ziomkiewicz had started seeing a new boyfriend shortly before her disappearance, but little came from the revelation.

Another day, Stefan and Joan drove 40 kilometres outside of Kingston to the intersection of Highways 15 and 32 km to look for Ziomkiewicz’s remains on advice from a psychic. They trekked though the forest with shovels for hours, and found nothing. ''

''He told The Journal he remembers Christine working as a don at the YMCA during her time at Brock, assisting people who needed shelter.

He said she accepted people and worked with them through difficult times as they put their lives back together.''
