Diane Cusack was 48 years old when she was last seen in New Britain, Connecticut. The exact date of her disappearance is unclear, though she was known to have been out of contact with her family for some time before concerns were raised. She was known to frequent the downtown area of New Britain. At the time she went missing, she was described as a white female, standing between 5'4' and 5'6' tall, and weighing between 140 and 160 pounds, with brown hair.
Her disappearance was one of several that occurred in the same general timeframe and area, causing concern within the community.
In 2007, human remains were discovered in a wooded area in New Britain. These remains were later positively identified as belonging to Diane Cusack. The discovery brought a sad conclusion to the search for her, confirming that she was deceased. Despite this identification, her case on the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System remains active because only partial remains were located. The circumstances surrounding her death were part of a larger, more complex investigation.
The investigation into Diane's case became linked to the discoveries of other missing women from the New Britain area. Law enforcement established that she, along with other victims, had connections to the same downtown neighborhood. This series of disappearances and the subsequent discovery of remains in the same wooded location pointed to the work of a serial offender. This connection placed Diane Cusack's case within the broader context of a task force investigation into a number of similar cases in the region, seeking to bring resolution to the families of all the women who were tragically lost.Last Seen: Jul 9, 2003
