Flossie Wilbur was 75 and living alone in Angelica, New York, when she was last seen on August 24, 1985, running errands that included a grocery run. Her absence went unnoticed for about a week. When authorities checked her West Main Street home they found her car in the driveway, groceries left inside and perishable items spoiling, the house unlocked, and a half-eaten meal on the kitchen table — all suggesting she did not leave of her own planning.

She was a retired farmer who kept to herself and recorded her thoughts in a diary; that diary reportedly mentioned her neighbor David Sherk frequently. Searches over the years involved bloodhounds and helicopters but turned up no trace. In summer 2020 Sherk, said to be terminally ill and in a medical facility, confessed to killing Wilbur and said he had buried her near the Almond Dam; subsequent searches were hampered by landscape changes from flooding and no remains were reported found as of that account.

Does anyone remember Flossie in Angelica or have information about her movements in August 1985?
