Jeanne Scrima Missing Person Case

Jeanne Scrima, a 44-year-old woman from Knox, New York, went missing on March 19, 1980, under suspicious circumstances. Jeanne was last seen that morning driving from Erie, Pennsylvania, to her residence in Knox. She had been staying in Erie with her boyfriend, John Sidney, and was planning to return home to meet with her estranged husband, John Scrima. Jeanne was in the midst of divorce proceedings and was supposed to meet with her attorney later that day but never arrived.

Jeanne's husband did not report her missing, and it wasn’t until months later, on May 4, 1980, when her attorney reached out to the police, that a missing person report was filed. Her car, a light blue 1977 Lincoln Continental, was found abandoned in Michigan months after her disappearance, having passed through multiple owners, but no evidence of her whereabouts was uncovered.

Despite an investigation, Jeanne has never been found. Her boyfriend cooperated with authorities and passed a polygraph, but her husband refused to speak with investigators and retained a lawyer shortly after she was reported missing. Foul play is suspected, but no arrests have been made, and Jeanne's case remains unsolved. Her disappearance has left investigators with many questions, and they continue to seek any information that might help solve the case.
