I have yet to get an update. I really would like to get this ruled out if it isn't her. I think this should have been ruled out earlier.
Sadly no update. Any exclusions on NamUs? Can you see when the last time the file was updated?

Twenty-year-old Valarie (sometimes spelled Valerie) Cuccia and a friend hitchhiked to the Banana Fish Disco in Brooklyn on May 4th, 1974.
Outside the club around 9 pm, Valarie’s friend saw her climb into a blue, metallic car with Massachusetts plates. The friend described the men inside as white and “hard looking”. Valarie was never heard from again and left all of her belongings behind.
Now Iam just thinking out loud …
It’s strange 2 friends that go to a club together and one just leaves the other one and does not say anything. the friend sees her getting into a car with 2 guys she has never seen before and out of state plates … wouldn’t you want to know where your friend is going?

Details of Disappearance
Cuccia met a female friend at the P.S. (Public School) 211 Park in the New York City borough of Brooklyn on May 4, 1974. They hitchhiked together to the Banana Fish nightclub (now defunct) on 96th Street and 3rd Avenue that evening, then separated once inside the club.
Cuccia's friend saw her getting into a car two unidentified Caucasian men at 9:00 p.m. The friend described the men as "hard looking" and said their car was a blue with a metallic finish and Massachusetts license plates. She may have been forced into it. She has never been heard from again.
Cuccia attended the City College of New York in 1974 and enjoyed playing the guitar; she owned two guitars, which were left behind at her home.
She lived with her parents and younger sister in the 1300 block of east 96th Street in the Canarsie neighborhood at the time of her disappearance, and her family stated she had no serious boyfriends and rarely went on dates.
Cuccia's parents are now deceased, but her two brothers, one of whom became a New York State police officer, still hope for answers in her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.

I have the impression that she was taken by force, maybe she was forced to take some drug or alcohol or was drugged in the nightclub... It shows that she was a good, quiet girl from home, but evil always seeks to harm wherever it is. .
rest in peace

Bumping, today is Valarie’s birthday.
I received a response! I guess the dental plate excludes her from being that jane doe. Good catch to the person in this thread who caught that.
