Rosella Amanda DeLong was 29 when she walked out of her family’s home in Toronto on December 15, 1947, saying she planned to travel to the United States to buy equipment and take a course for a weight loss clinic she hoped to open. At the time she worked as a restaurant cashier and had studied nursing. She is five feet, five inches tall with brown hair.

In May 1995 skeletal remains were found under a concrete floor at a former car dealership on Danforth Avenue; the floor was poured sometime in 1949 and the remains were estimated to date from before 1949. Because the Jane Doe’s age, height and hair color were similar, investigators considered a possible link to Rosella but later ruled the remains out.

Rosella’s disappearance remains unsolved. If anyone knew Rosella, her plans in 1947, or has information about her movements that December, please come forward.
