The Missing
Rosemary E. Hamilton Buck
Syracuse, New York
Rosemary E. Hamilton Buck was 20 years old when she was last seen hitchhiking near the corner of Sixth North Street and Wolf Street in Syracuse, New York on the afternoon of August 11, 1973. She was possibly seen hopping on the back of someone’s motorcycle and riding away. She has never been seen again.
She is described as a white female with blonde/strawberry blonde hair and hazel eyes, standing at 5’2” and weighing 110 pounds. She was last seen wearing blue jeans and a white coat.
Rosemary has a scar on her abdomen and birthmark/discoloration on her right leg. Her two front teeth overlap slightly.
Rosemary had previously been in the hospital for mental health issues, and reportedly had an alcohol problem. Her husband was in jail at the time for breaking and entering, and she was worried the state would take her son away from her.
She frequented the (former) Yellow Balloon Bar on Thompson Road near Erie Blvd East. She frequently attended rock concerts and traveled to get there. She had told her friends wanted to go to Boston Massachusetts to meet with an unknown male friend. She sometimes went by the name Mary.
Her son ended up being adopted by his grandparents in Florida.
If you have any further information, please contact the Syracuse Police Department at 314-442-5111.
