Marilyn Jean Mara was 35 when she disappeared in the summer of 1990. She was last seen on June 1 walking away from her parents’ home in the Ridgewood neighborhood of Queens, New York. At the time she was described as a white female, between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 100 to 140 pounds, with sandy-colored hair she often changed and hazel eyes that could appear green or very light blue.

Marilyn reportedly struggled with drug addiction. Her DNA has been entered into CODIS and the New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit is named as the primary agency handling the case. Over the years online discussions have suggested a possible connection to an unidentified woman called Lake County Jane Doe, found in Sorrento, Florida, in December 1991, but no definitive link has been established.

If anyone knew Marilyn, saw her around Ridgewood in 1990, or has information that might help investigators, please come forward. What information do readers have that could move this case forward?
