Vanished in the Blizzard: The Unsolved Case of Sheree Magaro’s Disappearance in Kentmore Park

A Routine Visit Turns Tragic

On the evening of February 22, 1987, 30-year-old Sheree Marie Magaro departed her fiancé's residence in Kentmore Park, Maryland, around 9:45 p.m., intending to return to her home in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Despite a severe snowstorm forecast, she chose to leave, aiming to arrive home before the weather worsened. Tragically, she never reached her destination and was never seen alive again.

Discovery of the Abandoned Vehicle

The following morning, at approximately 9:45 a.m., an anonymous call led police to Magaro's gray 1976 Ford Torino, found abandoned in a field west of State Route 213, about two miles south of the Bohemia River Bridge, north of Cecilton, Maryland. The car was partially burned, with its interior containing hair, blood, and human tissue. Notably, only about an inch of snow was beneath the vehicle, suggesting it had been left there between 10:15 and 10:45 p.m. the previous night.

Clues Scattered Around the Scene

Approximately 100 yards from the car, investigators found Magaro's purse, driver's license, and a tube of lipstick. The purse contained several valuable pieces of jewelry, indicating that robbery was unlikely the motive. Clothing was scattered around the vehicle, but there was no blood on the ground nearby, suggesting that any violence occurred inside the car.

Witness Accounts and Suspect Descriptions

Witnesses reported seeing a Ford Mustang with Maryland license plates and its hazard lights on in the field near where Magaro's car was found. One witness observed a man, described as 25 to 30 years old, 5'10", 170 pounds, with dark hair, brown eyes, and a mustache, talking to a woman in a car resembling Magaro's. Another man attempted to use Magaro's stolen credit card at a Sears store in Bel Air, Maryland, but left when the transaction was declined. He was described as a white male in his twenties, about 5'9", 160 pounds, with short black hair, blue or green eyes, and a dark complexion. Authorities believe these descriptions may pertain to the same individual. ...Read More
