Janice Elizabeth Norat, 32, disappeared from Lakeland, Florida, on June 19, 1990. She was last seen leaving her landscaping job at Merchant’s Walk on South Florida Avenue about 8:30 a.m., saying she needed to pick up her daughter from summer camp for a doctor’s appointment. She never arrived and was not seen again.

Three days later a 1982 Ford Fairlane registered to Norat was found locked and abandoned in an Albertson’s parking lot nearby; there was no sign of her and no witnesses reported suspicious activity. She had been grieving recent losses—her husband died in a car crash a few months earlier and her father had also died—and was reportedly depressed. Reports say she may have been carrying insurance proceeds from her husband, though a sizable bank account was left untouched.

Investigators consider foul play likely, but family members have offered differing theories, including voluntary departure and unverified claims about occult items found in the home. New evidence surfaced in 2007, though authorities did not disclose details. Does anyone have information about Janice’s movements on June 19, 1990, or about the Fairlane found at the Albertson’s lot?
