Circumstances of Disappearance
Marianne Schuett vanished on her way home from Kilbride School at the northern section of the City of Burlington, at 16.00 on April 27, 1967.

Two workers driving home from the nearby American Motors plant saw a man in a dark blue Renault station wagon or a small or compact size European model, dark blue or black in color, with a chrome section across the back. This man was at the side of the road talking out of the window to a little girl in a red coat. One of the workers saw in his rear view mirror how the girl got into the car, which then drove straight past her home. Marianne was reported missing after several hours.

One of the largest searches in Canadian history was organized in an effort to find Marianne and to identify her abductor. A blue sneaker was found in the Speyside area near Highway 25 in Milton, similar in size and color to sneakers worn by Marianne. The police composite drawing showed a thin-faced man, approximately 40 years of age, in light-rimmed glasses and a canvas fedora. A witness account told of a nervous-looking man cleaning out his vehicle and wiping it with a dry cloth at a empty picnic spot near Dundas two days after Marianne went missing. The car was a dark blue Renault station wagon. The description of the man fit that of the American Motors workers, not yet released to the public. The witness had taken down the car's license number.
