Lead #2

Deborah was described as someone who always stayed in contact with family; what circumstances could have caused her to break that pattern so completely?

💡
clue
Lead #3

The specific clothing she was last seen wearing (white and pink floral shirt with brown pants) may help identify her if spotted in old photographs or surveillance footage.

Deborah E Larkin, a 53-year-old woman, disappeared on May 14, 2009, from Lake Worth, Florida, leaving behind all her belongings—highly unusual given her close family ties. Despite being someone who always maintained regular contact with loved ones, she vanished without explanation, and her whereabouts remain unknown nearly two decades later. The case remains open with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, and anyone with information about her disappearance is urged to come forward.
