Cornelia Connie Enright was 18 when she vanished from Schenectady County, New York, after an evening out on April 24, 1969. A recent high school graduate with a new full-time job, she borrowed her mother’s car to meet a friend and co-worker at Lum’s restaurant in Rotterdam. The two left the restaurant at about 11:00 PM and parted in the parking lot; the friend believed Cornelia was driving home but Cornelia never returned.

Her parents discovered the family car missing the next morning; later on April 25 the vehicle was found locked in the Friendly’s parking lot on State Street in Schenectady with the keys and Cornelia’s purse missing. Nothing was taken from her bedroom at the family home on Odell Street, and she reportedly had only a small amount of money with her, so her family says she had not planned to leave. They searched for years, followed at least one tip to Newport, Rhode Island, and in 1980 had her declared legally dead. The disappearance remains an open cold case.

If anyone knew Cornelia, saw her or the car the night of April 24, 1969, or has information that could help resolve what happened, please come forward.
