The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Jane was supposed to leave for work Friday morning, and catch a bus to work. She never showed up to work, or to pick up her paycheck. She was due to go to Selden that night by train, she always called from Ronkonkoma train station to be picked up, but this night she didn't. Her overnight bag with some clothes was missing, enough for a weekend including a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt she wore every weekend in Selden.

A map of the 3 areas mentioned in her case file. The case file does not mention in what town/where she worked, so I do not know if that is included in the snapshot below. I'm not finding anything at this point with a search in newspaper archives, but will post if I find something.

Just reading the casefile circumstances, "Jane was supposed to leave for work Friday morning, and catch a bus to work", I assumed that the Friday in question was the same date as last contact in the casefile. However, January 19, 1984 was a Thursday not a Friday.

I believe that she worked at Macy's in or around Selden. Not sure if thats entirely true but I vaguely remember that. I always found it weird that there is 0 information online regarding my mother's disappearance.

Thank you everyone!

I am assuming that someone spoke with her Thursday the 19th and had work Friday morning. Last contact would be Thursday despite disappearing on Friday. Just a thought and could be completely wrong.
 
On this WebSleuths forum, member jporembski, who
is Jane Ann Porembski's son, communicated some
more information and agreed to allow it to be posted
publically below. {Almost verbatim, some editing for
brevity or clarity made}.

{jporembski states:}

I have VERY little to no information.

She worked at Macy's but which store I am not sure.
As for what her position was, I don't know for sure
but I think she just was a general sales clerk.

My understanding is that she never made it to work
that day.
{A question was asked if there was a clock-in system
at work, if perhaps she could have clocked in on
that morning, left for lunch and perhaps never
returned to work, thereby perhaps never clocked out
of work & therefore was perhaps not recorded as
working that day by her workplace?}
Unknown if there was a clock-in system, no clock-in
system or anything. Although, this is really all
heard from my dad.

{She had} No medical conditions that I have ever
heard of.

As for theories, the only real theory that ever
popped up was that the woman she was living with
killed her or did something. Of course, there was
always the theory that my father did something but
I don't believe that since I grew up with him my
entire life until 2008 when he passed.

Here is some background {sourced from what} I grew
up hearing.

I was born in 79. My mom and dad had marital issues
that caused them to separate and get divorced
(date unknown). They were divorced in a Nassau
County court which is where they awarded sole
custody to my father. According to my dad, he
represented himself and my mom had a lawyer. From
what I hear they interviewed me for a length of
time behind closed doors but no other information
about what was said was given to me or my parents at
the time. After the separation, my mother was living
in Westbury with a "Jamaican woman" who was heavy{ily}
into voodoo or something to that effect. I am assuming
sometime in 83/84 my mom and dad were starting to
rekindle their relationship when, according to my dad,
my mother told my father she was going to miss him
and me. He of course questioned her but no other
information was ever given to me. I don't know if
that was the last time they spoke/met up, but in 84
she then allegedly left for work like she always did
and disappeared never to be seen again.

My mother {Jane Ann Porembski} may have reverted
to {using} her maiden name. Unfortunately her
maiden surname is quite common, it is 'Rizzo'.
 
Any information about this missing person please contact me immediately as I am her son.
I don’t know the best way to go about submitting possible information about Jane, or any missing person for that matter. I’m new to websleuths AND to web sleuthing, so I don’t want to break any rules or upset anyone. If I believe two cases are connected, is this the place to discuss that?! Please forgive my ignorance.

Here or privately would be great! What information do you have? Also, do you think it's connected to another case?
 
@jporembski I found a few past addresses for your Mom. Not sure if that helps. Looks like her last address in Westbury was Circle Drive.

Did LE ever interview the other people living in the home at the time?
