Delores Jean Stanton was 21 when she vanished from Gainesville, Florida. She was last seen on April 13, 1976, leaving the 300 block of NW 14th Street to hitchhike to classes at Santa Fe Community College. Her roommate was the last person to see her that morning.

Delores frequently hitchhiked. On the day she disappeared she wore a bright multi-colored poncho, a blue sweater, blue jeans and carried a reddish-brown purse. Originally from Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, she left behind worried family and friends. Authorities list her as endangered missing and say it was highly unusual for her to leave without contact; investigators have suspected foul play but no solid leads have emerged.

Anyone who knew Delores, saw her that day, or has information about her whereabouts is asked to contact the Gainesville Police Department.
