Francis Lorraine Byrne, a 42-year-old woman with Down syndrome, went missing from Interlachen, Florida, on May 11, 1989. At the time, she was residing at an assisted living facility and was last seen sitting on a swing near the facility on Interlachen Boulevard. Byrne had wandered off from the facility before but usually stayed nearby. However, on this day, she disappeared and has not been seen since.
She was last wearing a light-colored shirt, striped shorts, white New Balance sneakers, and a gold wristwatch with a black band. Byrne also required medication, which she did not have with her when she vanished. Despite efforts to track her, a search dog lost her scent near the road, leading authorities to believe that she may have accepted a ride from a passing motorist.
The case has remained unsolved for decades, with few leads or developments. Both local authorities and organizations such as NamUs continue to list her case, hoping for new information that might help solve the mystery of her disappearance.
