Janet Marie Shuglie, 35, and her 10-year-old daughter Marisa were last seen in Somerset, Pennsylvania, on June 30, 1985. The two had been staying at the now-defunct Coleman Motel near the Pennsylvania Turnpike, reportedly in room 19, and left the room after a family argument. Witnesses say they crossed the highway to Dan’s Auto Sales, where Janet told the owner she was trying to find a ride to Pittsburgh and later said they would go see a priest at St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church. They walked away toward the turnpike interchange and were never seen again.

Janet was described as a White woman with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 4 inches tall and about 110 pounds. Her husband, Frank Shuglie, reported them missing on July 3, 1985; he was later arrested and convicted on solicitation-related charges after being accused of offering men money and travel to harm Janet, injure relatives, and kidnap Marisa. Investigators have long suspected foul play but have said there was never enough evidence to charge anyone in the disappearance itself. A 1967 class ring belonging to Janet resurfaced years later and was eventually turned over to state police.

Anyone who remembers seeing Janet or Marisa in Somerset on or after June 30, 1985, or who has information about the Coleman Motel area that summer is asked to come forward.
