Rose Cole was born December 23, 1956 in Flint, Michigan. Rose's full name is Rose Leanna Cole, but her family says she rarely used her middle name.
In 1972, at the age of 15, she was sent to Synanon Foundation in Oakland, CA for some kind of addiction (I'm assuming drugs).
For those who aren't familiar with Synanon, it was an unscrupulous drug treatment center whose clients rarely had a chance to leave once they arrived. Rose ran away from Synanon some time in late 1972 and wrote two letters to her family after leaving Synanon. To quote her sister-in-law:
I've checked death and marriage records in California, and death records in all states, and no Rose Cole shows up. Nor does she show up on any public records or phone book directory.
As her SIL stated, they have not heard from her since December of 1972. Rose would be 49 now, and would turn 50 this December.
Once additional information is received on Rose, I'll post it.

I have written the SIL requesting data on Rose's description. I have also asked her to re-type the letters, since I assume they might offer more details about her circumstances at Synanon.Was sent to the Synanon Foundation in Oakland, California in 1972
She wrote 2 letters from there Oct/Nov 1972
A third letter in Dec 72 were she explains that she ran away from the synanon
The 4th and last letter was dated on her sixteen birthday
I only have the envelope for the letter from the Synanon.
I can type the letters again (lost my computer files on this) if that helps.
