Maria Natalie Ruperto, 27, was last seen on July 22, 1989, in the Allston/Brighton area of Boston. Born in Italy and raised in New York City, she was living in Boston when friends last contacted her that Saturday. She was scheduled to attend a union meeting on Freeport Street in Dorchester on July 23 but did not attend, and she failed to report for work the morning of July 24. Her family reported her missing on July 27, and her vehicle was found abandoned in Dorchester the same night.

Early in the inquiry the Boston Police Department said they were checking leads but had no explanation for her disappearance and reported no indication of violence. Ruperto is described as a White/Caucasian female, black hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 2 inches and about 105 pounds when she vanished. Her case remains unsolved and is being handled by the Boston Police Department.

If anyone knew Maria, saw her in Allston, Brighton or Dorchester in late July 1989, or has information about the abandoned vehicle, please share what is known.
