Violet Nancy Zarb was 24 when she was last seen in Port Colborne, Ontario, on the morning of November 8, 1993. That morning she completed routine tasks — taking out the garbage and dropping her two young daughters at daycare — and was described as a shy, quiet single mother juggling a part-time job and college. She wore a black leather jacket, blue jeans, a gold cross necklace, and a Maltese pinky ring.

Her car turned up the next day on Clifton Hill in the busy Niagara Falls tourist area with her keys, purse and contents undisturbed; the jacket was inside and the trunk was wet. At home the bathtub was full of water and towels were soaking on the floor. Neighbors reported an argument between Violet and her boyfriend the night before, and family members had previously expressed concerns about that relationship and alleged violence. A witness later reported seeing someone jump into the Niagara River around the time she vanished, a theory investigators considered but the family questioned given Violet’s plans for her children that day and discrepancies in the description.

The Niagara Regional Police Service lists the case as active. Does anyone have information about Violet’s movements in Port Colborne or Niagara Falls in November 1993?
