Blanche Gibbs, a 96-year-old woman from Rochester, Vermont, went missing on August 28, 2011, during the devastating floods caused by Hurricane Irene. Gibbs was reportedly last seen near Woodlawn Cemetery in Rochester, an area significantly impacted by the flooding. Her disappearance occurred as many regions of Vermont were grappling with the destruction brought by the hurricane, complicating search and rescue efforts.

Gibbs was a small woman, standing at 5'3" and weighing around 110 pounds, with brown hair. At the time of her disappearance, there was significant concern that the severe weather conditions might have contributed to her going missing. Despite search efforts following the hurricane, no concrete leads or evidence about her whereabouts emerged.

The case of Blanche Gibbs is one of many that highlights the chaos and challenges brought about by natural disasters, as the flooding significantly hampered efforts to locate her. Investigators have remained hopeful that someone might still come forward with information, but her case remains unsolved to this day.
