Dolores Mary Nussbaumer, 73, was last seen May 10, 1989, while staying with her husband at their vacation cabin near Crooked Lake, about ten miles north of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. At roughly 3:30 p.m. she was observed walking along County Road 244 in a remote, heavily wooded area. Dolores was known to occasionally become confused, a factor mentioned as possibly contributing to her disappearance.

Searchers combed the rugged, swampy terrain after the sighting. The only item recovered was a sweatshirt found about three miles from the cabin; her purse and other belongings were never located. No additional evidence has emerged and she has not been heard from since. The Itasca County Sheriff’s Office continues to list her as missing and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the Grand Rapids or Crooked Lake area remember seeing Dolores or anything unusual on May 10, 1989?
