Marianne Schuett
Missing since April 27, 1967 from Kilbride, Ontario, Canada.
Classification: Stranger Abduction
Vital Statistics
Date Of Birth: 1957
Age at Time of Disappearance: 10 years old
Distinguishing Characteristics: White female.
Circumstances of Disappearance
Schuett vanished on her way home from Kilbride School near Burlington, at 4 p.m. on April 27, 1967. Two workers driving home from the nearby American Motors plant saw a man in a dark blue Renault station wagon at the side of the road talking out of the window to a little girl in a red car coat. One of the workers saw in his rear view mirror how the girl got into the car. Her running shoe was found two days later on the side of a highway 14 km away.
The police composite drawing showed a pointy-faced man in light-rimmed glasses and a canvas fedora. A witness account told of a nervous-looking man cleaning out his vehicle and wiping it with a dry cloth at a empty picnic spot near Dundas two days after Marianne went missing.
The car was a dark blue Renault station wagon. The description of the man fit that of the American Motors workers, not yet released to the public. The witness had taken take down the car's licence number.
The report was for unknown reasons never followed up. 23 years afterwards the case was reopened and the investigators did follow it up. They checked the licence number. It had belonged to a dark blue Renault station wagon. It was owned by a man with a history of pedophilia. He'd been jailed in 1972 for attempted abduction of an 11-year-old girl who managed to run away from his car. While the police was building their case against him he committed suicide.
