Sharaun Taree Cole was 12 when she vanished from her Manhattan neighborhood on February 25, 1983. She was last seen about 5:30 p.m. after going to a nearby park from the family’s residence on Edgecomb Avenue and never returned home. There were no signs of trouble at the house, and the family said she had no reason to run away.

At the time she was described as about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches, 110 to 115 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a beige wool jacket, a gold sweater, blue jeans, and blue-and-white sneakers when last seen. Investigators report few clues and the case remains unsolved; age-progression images have been produced to estimate how she might look now.

Anyone who knew Sharaun, saw her that evening, or has information about her disappearance is asked to come forward.
