    Details of Disappearance

    White left her home in Vernon, Connecticut on November 1, 1974 to visit a friend in Rockville, Connecticut. After seeing her friend, she began walking home. She was last seen in the 100 block of Prospect Street in Vernon. She never arrived home and has never been heard from again. Authorities initially believed she ran away, as she had a disagreement with her parents the night before her disappearance. Her disappearance is now considered suspicious, however.

    White's disappearance was one of five in a ten-year period in the Vernon area, including Janice Pockett. All of the missing were female; they ranged in age from 7 to 20 years old. Two of them were found deceased years after their disappearances but the other three, including White, remain missing. It is not clear whether the cases are related. White's disappearance remains unsolved.
