Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17211) and 8 other sources
Edith LaRiviere, a 31-year-old mother of five, was last seen on May 18, 1981, in North Brookfield, Massachusetts. She disappeared after reportedly walking away from her home on Cider Mill Road, and she has not been heard from since. At the time of her disappearance, Edith was described as standing between 5'6" and 5'7" tall, weighing around 135 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She also had a distinctive scar on her left ankle. Her car was left behind, and no personal belongings were noted as missing.

Despite investigations over the years, including inquiries by local authorities and the Massachusetts State Police, no significant leads have surfaced. The Connecticut River, near where she lived, was searched, but nothing was found to provide any clues. Her case remains unsolved and is considered an endangered missing person case, with law enforcement continuing to seek any new information that might help uncover what happened to her.

Edith's disappearance has left a long-standing mystery in her community, and authorities encourage anyone with information to come forward to assist in the case.
