Anna Therese Ciaccio was 30 when she disappeared from her brother’s home in Papillion, Nebraska, on March 5, 1981. She left behind essential personal items including her winter coat and wallet. Anna had a pattern of leaving without notice, but in prior episodes she always contacted her parents within a couple of days; this time no contact came and a longrunning missing person investigation began.

In the year before she vanished Anna had been hospitalized after a nervous breakdown and was known to suffer from depression. She was described as very religious, often spending time in churches and at one point considering joining a convent; some prior disappearances were linked to seeking refuge at houses of worship. On March 15 Anna’s mother thought she saw her near 42nd and Q streets, but the sighting could not be confirmed.

No confirmed trace of Anna has been reported since. Does anyone who lived in Papillion in March 1981 remember Anna or that possible sighting at 42nd and Q?
