Jacqueline Iris Lerman, also known by the last name Sklaroff, was 24 when she left her parents’ home in the Rockaway Beach neighborhood of Queens, New York, in the early morning hours of March 25, 1979. She was last seen at about four o’clock that morning. Jacqueline was described as a white female, 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 125 to 130 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes and a scar on her middle finger.

There were unconfirmed reports of sightings in New Jersey after she disappeared, but none have been verified. At one point investigators compared her dental X-rays to an unidentified woman found in Blue Earth, Minnesota; differences in the number of dental fillings ruled out that match. She was also excluded as a match to a Middlesex County Jane Doe found in New Jersey in 1979. The case remains open and unresolved.

If anyone knew Jacqueline, saw her in late March 1979, or has information about where she might have gone after leaving her parents’ home, please come forward.
