Leanne Hausberg was 14 and living in Brooklyn’s Bath Beach when she was last seen on March 18, 1999. She left home that day reportedly to meet friends but never returned or made contact with family. Her sudden disappearance alarmed relatives; she was described as a responsible teenager and her family immediately sought help finding her.

Authorities mounted a large search across Brooklyn, interviewing family, friends and neighbors about her last known movements. Investigators examined theories ranging from voluntary disappearance to possible foul play, but no substantial leads or evidence emerged. The lack of witnesses or clear clues left the case especially difficult, and public appeals and flyers failed to produce a breakthrough.

The case remains open and unsolved. Does anyone who knew Leanne in Bath Beach or saw her on March 18, 1999 have information that could help?
