Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP7592) and 6 other sources
Rosemary E. Hamilton Buck, age 20, was last seen on August 11, 1973, in Syracuse, New York. On that day, she was spotted hitchhiking at the corner of Sixth North Street and Wolf Street around noon. Rosemary, who was also known by the nickname "Mary," lived in an apartment on Wolf Street, located in Syracuse's North Side. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a white coat and blue jeans. She stood 5'2" tall, weighed about 110 pounds, and had blonde hair and hazel eyes. Rosemary had distinguishing features such as a scar on her abdomen and a birthmark on her leg.

Before her disappearance, Rosemary had been facing significant personal challenges, including mental health issues, struggles with alcohol, and a troubled marriage. She was also concerned about the custody of her young son, who was only 2 years old at the time. She often frequented the Yellow Balloon Bar and enjoyed attending rock concerts. Rosemary had mentioned to friends that she planned to travel to Boston, Massachusetts, to meet an unknown male friend, raising the possibility that she may have been on her way to meet him when she went missing.

Despite extensive efforts by her family and law enforcement, Rosemary has not been seen since that day, and there has been no activity linked to her Social Security number since her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to investigate, suspecting that foul play may have been involved.

If you have any information, the Syracuse Police Department encourages you to come forward.
