Mildred Louise Roche, 38, was last seen on May 31, 1976, after she and her husband, Ronald Roche, left her parents’ farm in Mankato, Minnesota, for their home in Fargo, North Dakota. Ronald told authorities that Mildred left him on June 2 saying she wanted a divorce, packed several suitcases and a significant amount of money, and later phoned him from Boston in August 1976; investigators found no evidence to corroborate that call.

Her family reported her missing on June 23, 1976, worried in part because Mildred suffered from epilepsy and had not refilled her medication after she disappeared. Police reopened aspects of the inquiry decades later and investigated Ronald further in 1996, even excavating his Fargo backyard, but uncovered no evidence and no charges were filed. Ronald died in 2018 and the case remains open with Mildred still missing.

If anyone knew Mildred, her routines, or has information about her movements after May 31, 1976, please come forward.
