Woman Who Was Missing For Decades Was Finally Located In An Absurd Place

On August 3, 1975, a man took his wife to her doctor’s appointment in upstate New York and promised to be back as soon as it was over. The husband anticipated seeing his wife waiting for him when he came back to the hospital.

Instead, he waited for her and had the worst shock of his life when she never arrived.

He was informed by the front desk receptionists that his wife was not present at the doctor’s office. What was it that may have occurred while he was away? The whereabouts of his wife would remain a mystery for 42 exhaustingly long years. She would then be located by police in an unexpected spot.

Florence Stevens, age 36, was a vibrant lady. She loved having a new and exciting experience every day to keep her going. At the time of her checkup, her only concern was whether or not her cold was serious.

However, Robert Stevens had no idea that he would be returning home that evening completely alone. The events of the day were simply shocking.

For the most part, Flora enjoyed her work environment. She was an employee at the Catskills’ ultra-chic and opulent resort, The Concord.

With its 1,200 guest rooms and stellar reputation for relaxation, The Concord was the place to be for vacationers and residents alike in the summer of 1975.

Looking Into Her Past

During their search for Flora, the police learned that she had attended Lincoln High School in New York. This tidbit of information was learned by the investigating officers from her application to work at The Concord.

But how might the cops use Flora’s old high school name to track her down? The investigators had very little information on the woman, but they did know that she was married to a guy named Robert Stevens.

No one knew what happened to Flora or why from the minute she disappeared. Is it possible that she was abducted? Did she leave the clinic purposefully without looking back?

Neither Robert Stevens nor any of the detectives could figure out what may have happened to Flora. But years later, the community pulled together and found the missing lady. Because she was such a wonderful person, everyone who started hearing about the case wanted to know what happened to Flora.

Where did she end up?
