Marie Laforest, a 40-year-old woman from Belle Glade, Florida, was last seen on December 8, 1981. She had been scheduled off work from December 6 to December 10 but did not return to her job on December 11, which is when coworkers and family realized something was wrong. Marie is described as an African American woman about 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds.

Very little is known about her movements or the circumstances leading up to her disappearance, and no significant leads or witnesses have been reported. Local authorities have kept the investigation open, and efforts to publicize the case through cold case networks and databases have continued, but no breakthroughs have been made.

If anyone has information about Marie Laforest’s whereabouts or saw her around Belle Glade in December 1981, please share what you know.
