Anita Tamboom, 62, disappeared from her Toronto home in the autumn of 1984 and was last seen by a neighbor on November 22, 1984. It was reportedly not uncommon for her to be away from home for periods, but family concern grew because she always returned and she had been dealing with some mental health challenges at the time.

Her purse was later recovered on the shores of Lake Ontario, a key but inconclusive piece of evidence that offered no clear explanation for her disappearance. Authorities describe her as a Caucasian female with blue eyes, short grey hair, about 5 feet 2 inches tall, medium build, and known to wear glasses. The Toronto Police Service Missing Person Unit has investigated but Anita’s whereabouts remain unknown.

Does anyone have memories of Anita, sightings in Toronto in late 1984, or information about the purse found by the lake?
