Delores Jean Stanton, a 21-year-old woman, was last seen on April 13, 1976, in Gainesville, Florida. That day, she left her residence in the 300 block of NW 14th Street to hitchhike to Santa Fe Community College, where she was attending classes. Known for frequently hitchhiking, Delores was wearing a bright multi-colored poncho, a blue sweater, and blue jeans, and carried a reddish-brown purse when she disappeared.
Her roommate was the last person to see her before she left for class.
Despite extensive efforts, Delores has not been heard from since that day, and no solid leads have emerged over the years. Authorities suspect foul play in her disappearance, as it was highly unusual for her to leave without any contact. Delores, originally from Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, was well-regarded and left behind concerned family and friends. The investigation remains open, with her case listed as endangered missing. The Gainesville Police Department continues to seek any information that could help solve this long-standing mystery.
If anyone has information, they are encouraged to contact the local authorities to help bring closure to Delores Stanton's case.Last Seen: Apr 13, 1976
