Harriet Olsen, 75, vanished from her family home on Fletcher Farm Road in Franklin, New York, on June 24, 2000. She was last seen at about 5:30 p.m.; her husband went to the garage after dinner and discovered she was gone when he returned between 6:00 and 6:30 p.m. Harriet had a form of dementia and could become disoriented.

That evening she was wearing a blue shirt, green corduroy shorts, and eyeglasses. Her dog Katie was left inside the house, which led family to believe Harriet may have intended a very short trip — perhaps to get the mail or visit a neighbor — since she normally took Katie on walks. Investigators considered that she might have tried to return to a previous residence in Wethersfield, Connecticut, to see her newly born great-grandchild, or that she might have gone to the Adirondack area for Independence Day events. Extensive searches turned up no trace and the investigation remains open.

Did anyone in Franklin or nearby communities ever see Harriet around June 24, 2000, or recall someone matching her description in the days afterward?
