Pauline Anne Szwedo was 46 when she left Southwestern Bell for lunch in East St. Louis, Illinois, on January 14, 1975, and never returned to work. The Cook County Sheriff’s Office lists aliases Brley and Pauline Gabriel, notes neck-length hair, and says she wore glasses.

Later that same day Pauline’s car was found on Eads Bridge, the major crossing over the Mississippi River between St. Louis and East St. Louis. NamUs lists the case as MP43418 and the Cook County Sheriff’s Office entry carries the same number; the Sheriff’s profile shows an update on April 3, 2019.

If anyone knew Pauline, saw her on January 14, 1975, or has information about her movements that day, please share what is known.
