Rockview Township, Pennsylvania – Pennsylvania State Police are continuing their investigation into the 1982 disappearance of an 18-year-old Ohio teenager whose body was later discovered near Interstate 80 in Centre County.
According to Pennsylvania State Police Troop G, Annette Stewart was last seen leaving her family’s apartment at 1556 Ansel Road in Cleveland, Ohio, on Nov. 4, 1982, telling relatives she was going to West Technical High School. She never arrived.
Stewart was reported missing by her mother, Ethel Stewart, to the Cleveland Police Department shortly after she failed to return home. Days later, her body was discovered down an embankment along Interstate 80 in Snow Shoe Township, Centre County, approximately 50 miles northwest of Penn State University. Investigators said she was wrapped in several bed sheets.
State police have not publicly released details about the cause of death or whether foul play was definitively established, but the case remains an active investigation more than four decades later. Authorities continue to seek information that could clarify the circumstances surrounding Stewart’s disappearance and death.
