    Details of Disappearance

    Anjiras was last seen leaving her home on Milwood Road on February 12, 1976. She was riding a blue English Racer bicycle. The bicycle was found abandoned near St. Mary's Lane approximately one mile from Anjiras's residence. There was no sign of her at the scene and she has never been heard from again.

    Investigators are uncertain what happened to Anjiras. Her mother stated that she took some clothes and money with her when she vanished, which indicates she left of her own accord. However, it would be highly unusual for her not to contact her family for decades afterwards. There is no hard evidence that foul play was involved in her disappearance, however. Police reopened Anjiras's case in 2003, but it remains unsolved.
