Agnes Ann Young, 43, disappeared from Long Branch, Pennsylvania, around October 16, 1986. She was disabled after a teenage car accident and had documented prior suicide attempts. Family members had not seen her since 1985 or 1986, and a missing person report was filed on October 1, 1986; the record does not identify who filed it.

From 1991 through September 2001, Agnes’s Social Security disability checks continued to be cashed. In 2001 her husband, Edward R. Young, triggered a benefits review when he applied for his own disability. He met alone with Social Security and claimed Agnes had taken a sightseeing trip to New York City and might have died in the September 11 attacks, but he could not name friends or a vehicle. Bank staff said they never saw Agnes when her checks were cashed, and Edward gave family varying explanations over the years about her whereabouts, including being institutionalized; investigators found no records of her in hospitals searched in Pennsylvania, Ohio, or New York.

Edward Young died by suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in May 2002 while authorities were preparing a second search of his home for Agnes. The disappearance remains unsolved and her whereabouts unknown.

If anyone knew Agnes, her movements in 1985–1986, or who might have accessed her benefits, please share what you know.
