On November 23, 1987, 34-year-old wife and mother Isabel Rizzo vanished from her New Rochelle home. Her husband, Frank Rizzo, reported returning at 2:30 a.m. and found their infant daughter alone in her crib and no sign of Isabel. Her identification, money, credit cards, and handbag were left behind, which investigators took as evidence she had not planned to leave.

On December 10, 1987, Isabel’s car was found burned out at the Baychester Avenue entrance to Interstate 95 North in the Bronx. That discovery suggested a violent outcome but produced no direct evidence identifying what happened to her. Her husband proposed she had returned to Chile, but her family there said they had not heard from her.

Authorities considered foul play likely but never developed enough evidence to charge anyone. The case remains unsolved and Isabel’s fate is unknown. Does anyone have information about Isabel’s life in New Rochelle or the events that night that could help the investigation?
