CT CT - Irene LaRosa, 17, Ellington, 1 March 1971

[Skigirl]

NJ - NJ - Galloway Twp, WhtFem 12-18, UP5221, watch w/ wide leather band, Dec'71

I have my suspicions that this could be Irene.

If anyone has significant connections and abilities to communicate this potential connection with authorities or Namus could you please help me do so?

I once advocated and sent in matches often, but I’m rusty now.

Each Namus case has a "contacts" tab. For Irene, it's here: The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Does anyone know why NCMEC gives her disappearance date as December 26? Everything else I've found says sometime in March.

In the years following her disappearance, two other tragedies struck the family.
In June 1975, Irene's older brother's wife Susan Sharon Gonthier LaRosa disappeared from her Ward Street apartment in Vernon, Connecticut. In 1978, Susan's murdered body was found in a remote wooded area of Vernon, Connecticut.
In November 1989, her step-sister Marguerite Ann Davis Lawrence was found burned in a car in the woods on Ashford.

Inaugural 'DNA Drive' aims to provide answers for CT families of missing persons

Enfield native Michael LaRosa never got to meet his Aunt Irene, who went missing from Ellington in 1971 before he was born.

Fifty-two years later, advances in forensic technology have given his family a greater chance at a new lead.

“She was a happy-go-lucky person, from what we're told,” LaRosa said. “She loved to sing, loved music. She left the house one day and that was it. She hasn't been seen since then.”

Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG) has resolved more than 600 cold cases nationwide since 2018.

Connecticut State Police and forensic labs hosted the event at the University of New Haven to add to that number.

“The reason why we don't get ‘hits’ is sometimes family members aren't coming forward and giving those samples,” said Michelle Clark of the Connecticut Chief Medical Examiner’s Office. “In order for us to make a match, we need someone to match our DNA to.”

All it takes is one swab from a family member's cheek, which is then sent to the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System (CODIS).

The Connecticut Forensic Science Laboratory says they have more than 100 unidentified remains in the state. The information gathered on Saturday can find matches across the nation.
