Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP34119) and 6 other sources
On March 14, 1978, a 20-year-old woman named Rosie M. Schlicker was seen at the Truman Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri. This would be the last time she was seen. At the time of her disappearance, Rosie, who sometimes went by the nickname Rose, was a young woman with her whole life ahead of her. She is described as a white female with blonde or strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes, standing at approximately five feet six inches tall and weighing around 120 pounds. Her distinguishing marks included pierced ears, a scar on her right hand, and a tattoo of a Harley Davidson on her right buttock.

The circumstances surrounding Rosie's disappearance remain shrouded in mystery, with very few details available to the public or to the investigators working on her case. She was last seen at the medical facility located in the 2300 block of Holmes Street, and from that point on, no one has reported hearing from her or seeing her again. The lack of information has made the investigation incredibly challenging for the Kansas City Police Department, leaving her family and community with unanswered questions for decades. The case was formally entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on June 20, 2016, many years after she was last seen.

Over the years, efforts to locate Rosie have continued, including the collection of DNA from family members to be entered into national databases with the hope of finding a match. Her sister has provided a DNA sample, which is complete and has been searched at the national level. Authorities have also attempted to collect a DNA sample from Rosie's daughter. The investigation remains open and is handled by the Kansas City Police Department. The case of Rosie Schlicker is a long-standing mystery, a story of a young woman who vanished without a trace, leaving behind a legacy of unanswered questions and a family still hoping for resolution.
