Richardine Middleton, 38, disappeared from her Bay Shore home in Suffolk County, New York. She was last seen on October 6, 1997. At the time she was 5 feet 4 inches tall, about 120 pounds, with long black hair, brown eyes, pierced ears and several scars on her chest, right cheek, left shoulder and abdomen. She was last reported wearing a blue sweatshirt, blue jeans size 5/6, oval-shaped cameo earrings set in yellow gold and a bracelet.

A crucial detail in the case is that Middleton depended on kidney dialysis three times a week and failed to appear for those life-sustaining treatments after she vanished, which prompted urgent concern and the missing-person investigation handled by the Suffolk County Police Department. The case remains open and no significant leads have been reported.

If anyone knew Richardine, her routines, or saw her in Bay Shore around October 6, 1997, please share what you remember.
