- Details of Disappearance:
- On November 9, 1981, Paula Hesse was last seen buying a fur coat at a mall in Rutland, Vermont. That’s the last time anyone saw her.
Later that evening, her landlady found food burning on her stove and a prepared meal nearby. The dinner table was set, but Hesse was gone. Her apartment was untouched; her new fur coat was still in her closet.
Hesse hadn’t worked much since college and mostly lived with her parents. She moved out after her mother died three years before she disappeared. Her sister said Hesse was very upset after her boyfriend died by suicide years earlier.
Despite investigation, her disappearance remains a mystery.
