- Details of Disappearance:
- On January 3, 1985, at 5:30 AM, a woman named Stavitskie was seen awake on her couch in her New Jersey home. When her husband checked on her an hour later, she was gone. She left everything behind – her car, clothes, money, even her glasses and cigarettes. She vanished without a trace and has never been found.
Stavitskie was originally from Brooklyn, New York, and had three children (ages 13-18 at the time). Her husband and oldest son passed lie detector tests (polygraphs) about her disappearance, but the younger children weren’t tested. Family described her as shy and anxious, someone who kept to herself and never disappeared unexpectedly before.
The police haven’t solved the mystery of her disappearance.
