Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP2886) and 8 other sources
Anjanette Piotrowski, a 21-year-old woman from Hamburg, New York, went missing on October 17, 1994. On the day of her disappearance, she called in sick to her job in the early hours of the morning. Later that day, she was last seen with Ronald Erhardt, the father of her ex-fiancé, at a mechanic shop in Blasdell, New York. Erhardt claimed they later went to Broderick Park in Buffalo, where they argued, and he walked home alone. After that, Anjanette was never seen again.

Erhardt’s actions following her disappearance raised suspicion. He cleaned out her living space and canceled a check intended for an apartment she was planning to move into. Despite this, he never reported her missing. Anjanette, who had moved to Buffalo earlier that year after her engagement ended, had maintained contact with her family, making her sudden disappearance highly unusual. Investigators suspect foul play, and Erhardt remains the prime suspect, although no charges have been filed. Foul play is strongly suspected, but Anjanette's body has never been found, and the case remains unsolved.

Attempts to link her case to a decapitated body found in Lake Ontario have been inconclusive due to the state of decomposition of the remains. This mystery continues to trouble her family and law enforcement, as no breakthroughs have been made despite ongoing efforts.

Last Seen: Oct 17, 1994
