  • AKA:: Annie


Circumstances of Disappearance Nenita Evans arrived in Australia from the Philippines in January 1985 and began work at the Melbourne Club within a few months. She resigned in November 1986 to study floral art. On January 8, 1987 she went to the Melbourne Club to visit friends and left there about 14.00 for a job interview at a Fitzroy florist. There was no indication that she had fled voluntarily. She did not take her clothes or passport. Evans was last seen about 14.00 on 8 January 1987 outside the club.

Police believe the disappearance of another woman, Anna Pontarollo, missing since 1958 and presumed murdered, and the murder of a third, Milagros Dark, are related. All the women were from Melbourne and disappeared after having contact with the Melbourne Club in Collins Street, central Melbourne. Ms Evans and Ms Dark were both employees at the Melbourne Club, while all three women were known to a former supervisor of the club.

Evans bank accounts have not been touched since her disappearance. Her body has not been found.


Australian Missing Persons Register Nenita

Quote from Coroner's report: Coroner Iain West found: ‘‘After [Nenita Evans'] disappearance, innuendo and unsubstantiated rumours circulated, implicating her husband and Vincenzo Leonardi, who was her supervisor at work and the last known person to see her alive. There is insufficient evidence before the inquest to make a finding of contribution against either of these individuals. And I further find that the deceased met her death from foul play, however the identity of the person or persons contributing to her death cannot be determined.’’

Nenita's son, adopted as an infant in the Philippines to a French family, participated in an Ancestry channel TV show several years ago. He had traced his US serviceman father and his mother's family in the Phils and was seeking information on his mother and her disappearance. I think we can't post YT links here, so search on the Ancestry family for: A Family Lost: Tracing a Mother Who Disappeared in Australia | Every Family Has A Secret: Episode 5

Nenita was one of 3 women who disappeared, who had an association with the Melbourne Club.

Scroll down this link for the 2019 investigative report by a respected crime reporter, on the background of a possible suspect Vincenzo Leonardi who worked at the Melbourne Club. The same reporter was interview in the TV series posted above, and explained some of Leonardi's history of violence against women.
