Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP25068) and 9 other sources
Diane Licciardello, a 28-year-old woman from Melrose, Massachusetts, was last seen on the evening of October 12, 1971. She had just left Bradlee’s department store in Chelsea Plaza at around 9:10 PM. Her car, which was found the next day in the parking lot of the store, had a flat tire with a nail in it, raising concerns about her sudden disappearance.

Diane had left work early that day, and a store clerk confirmed that she had been shopping at Bradlee’s. There was also a carnival set up in the parking lot during that time, and investigators questioned carnival workers, but no significant leads emerged. Diane’s family reported her missing, but despite investigations, no trace of her was ever found. At the time of her disappearance, Diane was described as having brown hair, standing 5'2", and weighing around 120 pounds.

Her case remains unsolved, and her family has continued to seek answers over the years, though her disappearance has become one of the many long-standing mysteries in Massachusetts. Investigators and her family continue to hope for new information to bring closure.
