Mary Joetta Roderick, 56, was last seen at her Lake Margaret Boulevard home in Lake Como, Florida, on December 16, 1994. Her absence went unnoticed until early 1995 when the phone company flagged a large unpaid bill; that prompted a welfare check. Her son told investigators she had gone to Fort Lauderdale with a boyfriend, a claim no other family members knew about and investigators could not verify.

No one saw or heard from Mary after mid-December 1994, and there has been no activity on any of her accounts. Investigators later found her son had been cashing checks in her name; he was jailed on unrelated charges. Foul play is suspected, but no substantial evidence explaining her disappearance has emerged and the case remains open.

Did anyone in Lake Como or Fort Lauderdale know Mary’s movements or the identity of the boyfriend her son mentioned?
