Jean Colborne was 56 when she walked away from the County Farm Nursing Home in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, on the evening of July 14, 1977. She was last seen about 5:40 p.m. and is believed to have left on foot into dense woods and nearby waterways. Physical details: white female, 5 feet 1 inch, about 135 pounds, brown hair, blue eyes; she had slurred speech, dragged her right leg, a rightward head lean with drooping on the right side of her face, callouses and corns on her feet, and a scar on the back of her right foot.

Reports say she may have been wearing a navy blue top with red edging and red print slacks. The Oneida County Sheriff’s Office conducted extensive ground and aerial searches of the surrounding area but found no trace of her, and the case remains open.

Does anyone remember Jean or have information about her movements around July 14, 1977?
