Marianne was last seen on September 23rd, 2005 at approximately 7:00 p.m. outside her home located in the 1900 block of Sagemore Drive in Marlton, NJ. When Marianne missed several planned appointments on Saturday, September 24th, her family and friends became concerned. On Sunday, September 25, 2005 she was reported as a missing person to the Evesham Police Department. Her car, a 2001 black Ford Mustang convertible was also missing.
Marianne is an extremely dedicated career woman in upper management of a large woman's fashion retailer (White House/Black Market, a division of Chico's.) She rarely missed a day of work for any reason. Marianne, however, missed several appointments on Saturday, September 24th with her family and did not make her weekly conference call sessions on Monday, September 26th. She was also looking forward to a long- planned trip to Paris with her mother which was scheduled for Tuesday, September 27th.
The police investigation found that Marianne's purse including her credit cards, ATM cards, identification, cellular telephone, cigarettes and other personal items were left in her apartment. Her beloved dog Sophie was also left behind.
Those who know Marianne know she would never willingly abandon her family, friends, career, and her dog. Marianne's car was found on Thursday, September 29th, approximately 1.5 miles from her home behind a WaWa in Avian Plaza in Voorhees Township. It was dropped off there by persons unknown sometime between Sunday, September 25th and Thursday when it was found.
On October 6th and 7th the Evesham Police Department in conjunction with several other Police Departments from the area conducted a large scale search of the area near Marianne's home in an attempt to locate her or any other information concerning her disappearance.
