The paper I have access to that is serving the area is The Sun & Erie County Independent. Small-ish paper, according to 2010 census 56K people, certainly less in 1996. In any event, I was unable to find anything on her case in the paper which I found somewhat surprising given it is loaded with "local" news, to include a "Police Log" detailing such events as a stolen lawnmower.

Will continue to poke around some and post anything I may find.

Not much in Ancestry besides her DOB and maiden name. Can't find any yearbook photos, but the name is very common.

I think looking for jane does found in the nearby bodies of water may be our next best move.

Hi! Andrea was listed as missing from Niagara Falls in Ontario Canada as well. The RCMP had photos of her. <modsnip - WS doesn't allow altered images except by verified experts in the field> I included the link to their site as well. I'm surprised that the RCMP has more information about her than NamUS
