The working list of women who went missing in New England, New York, and New Jersey during the summer months since 2003. Odd formatting and punctuation comes from cutting and pasting from other sources. Identified victims are marked with a *.
I think we need to look for other months and in other north Atlantic regions, including eastern Canada. Anybody else, feel free to add, or PM me with additions if you'd rather.
Summer 2003 and 2004 -- I didn't find any likely candidates.
