Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP28382) and 2 other sources
On January 13, 1994, 43-year-old Frances Vigneri Clark completed her shift at work on Water Street in Rochester, New York, and was never seen or heard from again. A resident of Rochester in Monroe County, her sudden disappearance left her community and family searching for answers. At the time she went missing, Frances was described as a white female, standing at 5'4' and weighing 120 pounds, with both brown hair and brown eyes. A noticeable scar was present on her abdomen. When she was last seen, it is believed she was wearing a long brown winter coat and black slacks.

The investigation into Frances's disappearance began after she failed to return home from her job. A significant development in the case came with the discovery of her vehicle, a 1992 purple Camaro, which was found abandoned off of Kings Highway. Investigators at the scene noted a single set of footprints leading away from the car in a northerly direction, suggesting that Frances had walked away from her vehicle. Despite this finding, the trail seemingly went cold, and extensive searches and investigative efforts have not yielded any definitive explanation as to what happened to her after she left her car.

Over the many years that have passed since Frances Clark vanished, her case has remained an active and open investigation with the Rochester Police Department. Authorities have continued to appeal to the public for any information that might shed light on her whereabouts or the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, as foul play is suspected. The case is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System a national database for missing persons, in the hopes that new leads may emerge. Despite the passage of time, the search for Frances continues, with her family and investigators holding out hope for a resolution to her troubling and long-unsolved case.
