Anna Kenneway, 42, vanished from Manchester, Connecticut, after being last seen on the evening of June 4, 1954. Her husband Philip said they argued that night and that he left between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. to see a movie; he returned to find Anna gone. Philip later told a neighbor he was now free after obtaining a divorce in January 1956 for intolerable cruelty and he remarried. Anna’s son, then hospitalized in Massachusetts, reported her missing on June 15, 1954, after her regular bi-weekly visits stopped. Friends, family, and co-workers described Anna as dependable and conservative; she and Philip worked third shift at a factory in East Hartford and she had missed only three days of work in seven years prior to her disappearance.

Neighbors reported verbal and physical abuse in the marriage. Shortly before she disappeared, Anna called a co-worker from a payphone saying she was thinking of leaving Philip; the call ended abruptly. The family suspected Philip had killed Anna and buried her under the concrete floor of a garage he built around the time she vanished; police excavated that site in 2006 but found no evidence. Anna was declared legally dead in 1991. If anyone knew Anna, her routine, or saw her in Manchester in June 1954, please share what might help bring closure.
