Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP7073) and 6 other sources
Agnes "Ginger" Shoe, a 37-year-old woman, went missing from her home in Glenville, New York, on June 26, 1979. She was last seen at her residence on Olde Coach Road. Shoe, who had red hair and blue eyes, was described as standing 5'4" tall and weighing around 120 pounds. She had a distinctive horizontal scar on her throat from a previous thyroid surgery.

At the time of her disappearance, Shoe left behind all of her personal belongings, including her keys, purse, and necessary medication for her thyroid condition, which raised concerns about foul play. Her dog was also left without food or water, further suggesting that she did not intend to leave for an extended period. Shoe’s husband, who lived in New York City during the week and returned home on weekends, reported her missing after finding no sign of her.

Suspicion surrounds her disappearance as Shoe was planning to move to New York City to join her husband, having recently quit her accounting job. Despite this, her husband refused to cooperate with the investigation and soon relocated to New Jersey, though he has never been named as an official suspect.

Investigators believe that Agnes Shoe was the victim of foul play, but no significant developments have emerged in the decades since her disappearance. The case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to seek information to bring closure to her family.
