On August 1, 2000, Rosalyn Ann Manley, a 56-year-old Black female, was last seen in St. Louis, Missouri. Publicly available missing-person records describe her as having black hair and brown eyes, with pierced ears noted as a distinguishing characteristic; her height and weight are not listed in the available case profile. The date and place of her disappearance are the central known facts of the case: a summer day in St.
Louis became the last confirmed point at which Rosalyn was seen, and after that point, the public record says she was never heard from again.
The known details of Rosalyn’s disappearance are painfully limited. The available case summary does not provide a specific neighborhood, address, time of day, clothing description, destination, companion, vehicle, medical concern, or known circumstance explaining why she vanished. Instead, her case is recorded in stark terms: she was last seen in St. Louis on August 1, 2000, and has not been heard from since. That absence of detail leaves a quiet but heavy uncertainty around the case, because it gives investigators, the public, and anyone who may remember something only a narrow framework from which to work. It also means that Rosalyn’s story must be handled with care: the lack of public information should not diminish the seriousness of her disappearance or the value of her life.
Rosalyn was born on February 2, 1954, and she was 56 years old when she disappeared. Her case has been classified as a missing-person case in the public profile maintained by The Charley Project, which cites the Missouri State Highway Patrol as source information and lists the Missouri State Highway Patrol as the investigating agency contact. The Charley Project’s archive also shows that Rosalyn Ann Manley’s case file was added on November 9, 2020, years after her disappearance, reflecting how some older missing-person cases continue to be documented and preserved long after the first report.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s missing-person search page explains that information on its missing-person webpage is derived from the National Crime Information Center through the investigating agency and is automatically updated daily; it also directs anyone seeking further information about a missing person to contact the investigating agency. In Rosalyn’s publicly available case profile, that agency contact is the Missouri State Highway Patrol at 800-877-3452. This matters because the case record available to the public is brief, and any meaningful development would likely depend on official records, witness recollections, or information that has not been widely published online.
Rosalyn Ann Manley’s case remains a story defined by a last known place, a last known date, and the silence that followed. She was a 56-year-old Black woman last seen in St. Louis, Missouri, on August 1, 2000; she had black hair, brown eyes, and pierced ears, while her height and weight were not made publicly available. The public record offers no detailed explanation for what happened after she was last seen, only that she has never been heard from again and that few details are available. In overview, Rosalyn’s disappearance is a long-standing St. Louis missing-person case with limited public information, an identified investigating agency, and a central unresolved question that has endured since August 1, 2000: what happened to Rosalyn Ann Manley after she was last seen in St. Louis.Last Seen: Aug 1, 2000
