Rose Mary Friday, 53, disappeared from her Brampton, Ontario home in June 1974. She was petite, 5 feet 0 inches, with blue eyes, shoulder-length grey hair, several surgical scars and scoliosis. The circumstances of the day she was last seen are described as vague.

Her absence was not reported until October 1974 when her husband’s new wife grew suspicious that his previous wife was missing. Investigators noted the delay in reporting and that the husband had remarried without a divorce or a death certificate for Rose Mary, a detail that drew attention during the inquiry.

In 1978 skeletal remains of an unidentified woman were found about a thirty-minute drive from Brampton and were compared to Rose Mary’s description, but the likelihood of a positive match was considered very low. Very little else is known about what happened after her disappearance.

If anyone knew Rose Mary, her movements in June 1974, or has information about the Halton Region Woman, please come forward.
