Bernadine Paul, 37, disappeared from Waterbury, Connecticut after an afternoon errand on June 7, 2000. A friend dropped her at Bradlee’s Department Store on Chase Avenue; at about 3:15 p.m. she made a last known transaction, withdrawing $30 from a nearby ATM. She was never seen or heard from again.

Bernadine, known as Bernie, was Hispanic with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4 inches and 115 to 120 pounds. Distinguishing features included moles on her upper lip and neck, pierced ears and a cross tattoo on her left hand between thumb and index finger. On the day she disappeared she wore a burgundy shirt, light blue jeans, a white jacket and white athletic shoes, carried a black purse and wore multiple bracelets, rings and a gold cross chain. She spoke Spanish.

A friend who dropped her off did not report contact for roughly 12 to 14 hours and left the Waterbury area one to two months later. The case grew cold and little else is publicly known. If anyone saw Bernadine around Chase Avenue on June 7, 2000, or has information about her whereabouts, please come forward.
