Female
In the autumn of 2016, a 54-year-old woman named Pamela Carlton vanished from her life in Rochester, New York. She was last seen on October 20, 2016, at the rooming house where she lived. Pamela, a Black / African American female with black hair and brown eyes, stood about 5'2" tall and weighed around 170 pounds. She had a scar under her lip and both of her ears were pierced. At times, Pamela was also known to use the alias Sandra Williams. For reasons that are not publicly known, several months passed before she was officially reported as a missing person to the Rochester Police Department, a delay that unfortunately impacted the initial stages of the investigation into her whereabouts. The circumstances surrounding Pamela's disappearance remain unclear. Her daughter filed the missing person report on December 16, 2016, after not having seen her mother for a couple of months and discovering she was not at her rooming house. There has been little information released about the specific details of her last known movements or interactions. The lack of immediate public information has made it challenging for those concerned to piece together a timeline of events leading up to the day she was last seen. Investigators have entered her case into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), a national database for missing persons. The investigation into Pamela Carlton's disappearance is ongoing, handled by the Rochester Police Department. Despite the passage of time, her family and law enforcement continue to seek answers. Community efforts to raise awareness have been significant, but more information is needed to bring any sense of closure to her loved ones. The case serves as a somber reminder of the many individuals who disappear under uncertain circumstances, leaving behind families caught in a state of ambiguous loss. The search for Pamela is a quiet but persistent effort, a puzzle with crucial pieces still missing. Anyone with information regarding her whereabouts is encouraged to come forward.
