Monica V. Monroe was 52 when she was last seen on June 16, 1998, in Miami Beach, Florida. She was 5 feet 8 inches, about 115 pounds, with blonde hair, hazel eyes and pierced ears. That morning she spoke with family at 10:00 a.m., and by 1:30 p.m. was observed driving her white 1984 Chevrolet Camaro out of her apartment building’s parking lot. She has not been heard from since.

On the day she disappeared two friends from her apartment complex received their door keys back in the mail, and Monroe’s mother in Sweden received a package containing Monroe’s jewelry and a note stating, By the time you receive this letter, I will be dead and gone. Her adult son visited her Venetian Drive apartment on June 18 and found her checkbook, deposit slips and credit cards neatly arranged with nothing missing. Monroe had sold her husband’s car and handled banking matters on June 15. Her husband, who was undergoing radiation for metastatic lung cancer diagnosed in May 1998, said Monica cried and told him she loved him but couldn’t handle his illness.

If anyone knew Monica, saw her in mid-June 1998, or has information about her last movements, please share what is known.
