Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP159118) and 2 other sources
On a cold New Year's Day in 1996, 31-year-old Angela Marcelo was last seen in Dayton, Ohio. A Black female with brown hair and brown eyes, Angela was also known by the nickname Angela Dillard. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as being 5'1" tall and weighing approximately 145 pounds. Distinctive features included dimples and gold teeth. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unclear, and information about what she was wearing or her state of mind at the time has not been made public.

Decades have passed since Angela Marcelo was last seen, and her case has grown cold, leaving her family with unanswered questions and a void that cannot be filled. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Dayton Police Department have been involved in the investigation into her disappearance. In an effort to generate new leads, a DNA sample from her daughter was submitted for comparison against unidentified remains databases, a common practice in long-term missing persons cases. Despite these efforts, there have been no significant breakthroughs publicly announced in the search for Angela.

The investigation into what happened to Angela Marcelo is ongoing, and authorities continue to seek information from the public. Her case is a somber reminder of the many individuals who vanish without a trace, leaving behind loved ones to grapple with the uncertainty and pain of not knowing. The lack of resolution in Angela's disappearance underscores the difficulties that law enforcement and families face in cold cases. The overview of her case is one of a sudden and unexplained disappearance, with very few public details available to shed light on her last known moments. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Dayton Police Department.

Last Seen: Jan 1, 1996
