Helen Joyce Rawley, 75, was last seen on the morning of June 4, 2003, on the porch of the College Park, Maryland, home she shared with her adult son. A tenant saw her between 6:45 and 7:00 a.m.; her son returned from work at 3:30 p.m. and found the house dark and her bedroom empty. Her purse and wallet were left behind and there were no signs of struggle or robbery.

Joyce had significant health problems that limited her mobility and communication after two strokes in 2001 and she had been receiving treatment for rectal cancer since 2002. Police dogs tracked a scent from the front door to the corner of the block before the trail went cold; rainy weather that afternoon may have erased further tracks. Searches, hospital and bus-driver checks, and a helicopter search produced no trace.

Her family’s loss included the earlier deaths of two sons in 1982 and her husband in 2001. The disappearance remains unsolved. Did anyone in College Park in June 2003 see a woman matching her description or have information that could help locate her?
