Theresa Kawash, 36, vanished from her Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey home on July 4, 1982. A beautician and mother, she had been finalizing a divorce filed in January 1981 and planned to move to Norway with her ten-year-old daughter after remarrying. Her husband said he heard her call the child into her room around 8:00 a.m.; he and the daughter left at 8:30 a.m., with Theresa’s gold 1977 Datsun 280Z parked in the garage.

When the husband and daughter returned at 11:30 p.m., Theresa and the car were gone. Recently laundered clothes and a full refrigerator remained in the house, and her passport was left behind. Her husband reported her missing on July 7. A custody hearing was scheduled about a month later; despite her disappearance, the divorce was finalized in March 1983 and Theresa was awarded custody. There has been no confirmed sign of her or the distinctive Datsun 280Z, license plate 338 GIY.

Who knew Theresa then, or has information about her movements on July 4, 1982, is asked to come forward.
