She worked as a secretary for the United Fund of Allegheny County, living at Martinique Apartments on weekdays and spending the weekends at her mother's home in Strabane Township. Krulce never showed up for work on November 20 and has never been heard from again. Her clothes, and jewelry were left behind in her apartment, as was the insulin and needles she needed to control her diabetes. Mary Ann Verdecchia, a child who also lived in Martinique Apartments, disappeared in 1962, three years after Krulce did, and was never found. There's no indication the two cases are related, however. Human remains found in the Garfield area of Pittsburgh in 2018 were initially thought to be Krulce's, but investigators now believe they are not hers. Her disappearance remains unsolved. Other information and links : ncy Pittsburgh Bureau of Police 412-323-7800 September 2021 updates and sources A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are not known. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
