Helen Stark, 24, vanished from South Milwaukee around January 12, 1946. She planned to pick up her two young children from a babysitter that day but never arrived and has not been seen or heard from since. Her husband, William P. Stark, was discharged from the Army on the same day Helen disappeared.

Family members say Helen, maiden name Borkowski, would not have voluntarily abandoned her children; her mother had died when Helen was young and her siblings were placed in an orphanage. A thorough search turned up no significant clues. At the time she went missing she was described as between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet 0 inches tall, 170 to 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

This remains an open unsolved missing-person case and one of the oldest in Wisconsin. Did anyone in South Milwaukee or the surrounding area have contact with Helen or the Stark family around January 1946?
