Mother Sure Long Lost Daughter Can Be Found
Montreal - A grey-haired Ontario mother appealed to Montreal police yesterday to help her find a daughter she is convinced was kidnapped two years ago.
Mrs. Sheldon Crumback of Guelph, Ont., and formerly of Toronto, said she came to Montreal because she believes the police department's Missing Persons Bureau can help her.
The missing girl is Mabel Crumback, who now would be 21. At the time of her disappearance, she was employed as a bookkeeper by a Toronto company.
"I am certain Mabel is alive and is being held against her will," said Mrs. Crumback. "There are only two other alternatives, one that she is dead and the other that she is suffering from amnesia. I cannot believe she ran away."
She said Mabel weighed 100 Pounds, has black wavy hair, dark brown eyes and a mole under the right eye.
Vanished in Toronto
Mrs. Crumback told police that when Mabel disappeared they were living at 661 Willard Avenue, York Township, Toronto. Their present address is 48 Tiffany Street West, Guelph.
Mabel was in the six-room cottage with her 8-year-old brother Gary. The parents were attending a wedding in Detroit that day, May 28, 1950.
A neighbor said he heard loud talking but thought Mabel was being reprimanded by her parents. Little Gary said he heard thumping on the floor and then on the cellar stairs.
A search of Mabel's room showed she took little extra clothing. There were no signs of violence.
Mrs. Crumback said mabel was to have been married in 1951 and had few male friends. Her interests included music and sports.

Police Doubtful
Toronto - York Township police said last night that it is unlikely that Montreal police have any clues to offer in finding Mabel Crumbach, who disappeared from here two years ago.
Police officials said it is customary for police departments to notify one another when new leads occur in any case. "We have received no word from Montreal about this case."
Mrs. Sheldon Crumbach now a resident of Guelph, Ont.,said she thinks the Montreal police's missing persons department can help find her daughter Mabel, who disappeared Mayh 28, 1950, at the age of 19 while her parents were attending a wedding in Detroit.
York Township police said at the time there was no evidence she had been taken from her home by violence. Yesterday they admitted the possibility that she could still be alive.
