Laura Mand Lewis is listed in NamUs as missing person MP13687 and is associated with Rochester, Vermont, and Woodlawn Cemetery. NamUs gives her last contact date as August 28, 2011, lists age 18, height 5 feet, weight range 110 to 140 pounds, and records hair and eye color as unknown. The investigating agency is the Vermont State Police - Vermont Intelligence Center (agency case number 12D300307).

The case is tied to flooding caused by Tropical Storm Irene. Public reports describe Nason Brook becoming a destructive torrent that washed out part of Woodlawn Cemetery, disturbing graves and carrying human remains downstream. Coverage after the storm said roughly 50 graves were washed away and that only about half of the remains had been recovered by the time families gathered for a reburial; other reports said more than two dozen sets of remains remained missing in the White River. The NamUs record does not list a resolution status of Alive or Deceased, so the case remains recorded as missing and connected to the cemetery washout and recovery effort.

Does anyone with ties to Rochester or knowledge of the Woodlawn Cemetery recovery have information that could help clarify what happened to Laura Mand Lewis’s remains?
