On a cold February evening in 1984, 26-year-old Helen Wagner left her home in Kearny, New Jersey, about 11:00 p.m. to buy cigarettes and never returned. She was last seen wearing jeans, a white sweater, and a red hooded, waist-length jacket. Helen had long black wavy hair and brown eyes.

Helen had several identifying marks: a scar on her lower right chin, acne scars on her face, scars on both wrists and on her back near her spine, and a small half-inch tattoo of a blue and red crescent and star with the star in the curve, located on her hip or buttock (the exact side is unknown). There was no sign of a struggle at her home; the Kearny Police Department opened an investigation and her case was entered into national missing persons databases.

If anyone knew Helen, saw her that night, or has information about her whereabouts, please come forward.
