Audrey was last seen leaving her family's home in Brooklyn on July 15, 1977.
She had been hospitalized for brief periods of time in several New York City borough medical facilities from 1974-1977 due to hebephrenic schizophrenia. She was an outpatient at Kingsboro Psychiatric Center in Brooklyn at the time she disappeared. She did not carry any identification or medication with her at the time she was last seen.
Audrey, who liked shopping at Kings Plaza, had sometimes gotten lost close to home but always had the presence of mind to call her father for help. She may be listed as an unknown patient ("Jane Doe") in a psychiatric hospital somewhere. Extensive inquiries into New York hospitals by the NY Police Department have been futile.
