Judith Ann Ruggirello, a 29-year-old mother, was last seen August 18, 1968, in Southfield, Michigan. The night before she vanished she had a heated argument with her husband, told him she intended to divorce him and had put down a deposit on an apartment; he reportedly threatened her. The next morning their children were taken to the husband’s brother’s home about 11:00 AM, and after the children left Judith was never seen again.

Her car was later found abandoned at 7 Mile Road and Wyoming Avenue in Detroit with her purse inside. Friends and family described the marriage as troubled and say the timing of her disappearance, immediately after the threatening argument about leaving, left them suspicious. The case has remained open and unresolved, and her children and extended family continue to live with uncertainty about what happened.

Did anyone in the Detroit or Southfield area have contact with Judith around August 18, 1968, or recall seeing her car near 7 Mile and Wyoming?
