On a spring afternoon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 34-year-old Constance "Connie" Wooten vanished. The date was May 26, 1997, and Connie had spent part of her day seeking employment, filling out a job application at a Wendy's restaurant in the East Liberty neighborhood. She was last seen later that day in the Garfield area, about half a mile from the restaurant, near a friend's home on North Graham Street. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a green windbreaker jacket and brown pants. Connie is described as a Black female with reddish-brown hair and gray eyes. A scar on her right cheek is a notable distinguishing feature. [cite: ] According to a friend, Connie was seen getting into a car on the day she went missing. The vehicle was driven by a man she had known for years. Reports describe their relationship as long-term and at times "volatile". This individual, through his attorney, has declined to cooperate with the police investigation into Connie's disappearance. His refusal to provide information has been a significant obstacle in the search for answers. Due to the circumstances surrounding the last time she was seen, law enforcement suspects foul play in Connie's case. The lack of cooperation from the man she was last seen with, combined with the nature of their relationship, has led investigators to believe that she may have met with harm. The investigation into what happened to Constance Wooten remains open. Despite the passage of time, her case has not been forgotten, and authorities continue to seek information that could lead to a resolution. The overview of this case is one of a woman who disappeared under suspicious circumstances after being seen with a man with whom she had a troubled history, leaving her family and community without answers for decades.
