- Details of Disappearance:
- On August 1, 1980, a woman named Chambrone left her home in Ocean Township, New Jersey after an argument with her husband. She stopped at a friend’s house, then said she was hitchhiking to Asbury Park. She vanished and was never seen again. Strangely, she left behind her dog and all her belongings.
Her husband waited 18 days to report her missing because she sometimes disappeared for short periods. However, they had serious marital problems and money worries.
In 1985, a man named William John Deeves Jr. confessed to killing Chambrone. Deeves had a long history of violence and mental illness, and had already been convicted of murdering another woman, Sylvia Murphy.
Deeves said he met Chambrone at a bar, then drove her to Neptune, New Jersey. When she refused his advances, he threw her off a bridge into a stream. Police searched but couldn’t find her body. Deeves pleaded guilty and received a 50-year prison sentence. Because of the circumstances, police believe Chambrone was murdered, but they don’t think her body will ever be found.
