Case Story |
|
| |
Mother Vanishes After Work |
|
| |
Bernadette Caruso was a 23-year-old mother when she left her job in Baltimore, Md. and mysteriously vanished. When Bernadette finished her shift at Shaw's Jewelry Store at the Eastpoint Mall around 5 p.m., she mentioned to one of her co-workers that her estranged husband had called, and that he wanted to meet so they could discuss something.
Bernadette agreed to the meeting, even though her family members say she was scared of her husband, Michael Caruso, and claimed he had threatened her in the past. When Bernadette walked out of the store and headed across the parking lot, it was the last time she was ever seen.
Bernadette was supposed to make a phone call to one of her friends that evening, but she never did. She also never showed up to pick up her young daughter. Police say that none of Bernadette's family members or friends have had any contact with her since September 27, 1986. |

Investigation Reaches A Standstill |
|
| |
Bernadette's estranged husband, Michael Caruso, was an officer with the Baltimore County Police Department at the time of her disappearance. He was investigated by the police shortly after Bernadette disappeared, and was monitored closely for some time, but the police never found anything to link him to Bernadette's disappearance.
The couple was going through a difficult divorce when Bernadette vanished, and they were also in the middle of a complicated custody battle over their daughter, 3-year-old Nicole. Both Bernadette and Michael had made various accusations against the other, and had been bogged down by legal procedures and paperwork for quite some time. When Bernadette disappeared, the dispute over who should get custody of Nicole continued, now also involving Nicole's grandparents.
Police have had very little information to work with since Bernadette's disappearance. Despite knowing what kind of car Bernadette left the parking lot in, and having a specific description of the clothing she was wearing, police were never able to track her down, or even find anybody who had seen her after she left work that day. Bernadette's car has still never been discovered.
It has been over 20 years since Bernadette vanished, and her family and the police are still desperate for any clues to help them solve her mysterious disappearance. |
