Bonita Bickwit was 15 when she and her 16-year-old boyfriend, Mitch Weiser, disappeared after attending the Summer Jam Festival in Watkins Glen on July 27, 1973. The pair had hitchhiked to the concert and were last seen trying to hitchhike back to Brooklyn near Narrowsburg on State Route 97 after the event ended. Bonita was described as 5 feet 0 inches, 105 pounds, with long dark brown hair and brown eyes; she was wearing a maroon blouse, blue jeans, and sandals.

Despite extensive searches and media coverage at the time, neither Bonita nor Mitch has ever been found. Theories proposed over the years include a traffic accident, foul play, or that they fell into the Delaware River while attempting to cross it, but no significant leads have emerged and both remain listed as missing.

If anyone remembers Bonita or Mitch from that weekend, or has information about Route 97 near Narrowsburg on July 27, 1973, please come forward.
