Stanislawa Jurkiewicz was a 52-year-old woman living in Toronto, Ontario, when she disappeared in March 1994. Her case is recorded with a missing date of March 4, 1994. Stanislawa lived in the west end of Toronto near Fern Avenue and Roncesvalles Avenue, an established residential area west of the city’s downtown core. According to publicly available information about her disappearance, she was in contact with her family at approximately 10:00 p.m. around the time she vanished.
That conversation became one of the final known points in the timeline before her whereabouts became unknown. Although her case has remained documented for decades, relatively little information about the circumstances surrounding that final evening has been released publicly, leaving many details about what Stanislawa was doing, whom she may have encountered, or what plans she had beyond the following morning unanswered.
The following morning, Stanislawa was reportedly expected to leave her home for a doctor’s appointment. Investigative information made publicly available states that she was believed to have departed her residence to attend that appointment, but she never arrived. What happened between the time she was last in communication with her family and the time she was expected at the doctor remains unclear from the available public record. No publicly accessible account located for the case identifies the doctor or medical facility she intended to visit, the exact route she was expected to take, whether she planned to walk or use another form of transportation, or whether anyone witnessed her after she left the area of her home. Those missing pieces make the circumstances particularly difficult: Stanislawa apparently began what should have been an ordinary trip to an appointment, yet somewhere between home and her expected destination, the known trail ended. Her absence would have been especially alarming because the appointment provided a specific place where she was expected to appear, and her failure to arrive left her family without the reassurance that she had safely reached her destination.
Stanislawa was described as approximately 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighing about 150 pounds. She had blonde hair and green eyes, and an important identifying characteristic noted in missing-person information is that she wore false teeth. Records also indicate that Stanislawa sometimes used the first name “Mary,” a detail that could be significant if she introduced herself, completed paperwork, or was remembered by someone under that name rather than Stanislawa. The available online information does not provide a confirmed description of the clothing she was wearing when she disappeared, nor does it identify personal belongings she may have carried with her. Because so much time has passed, identifying details such as her appearance, dental information, and alternate first name remain important parts of the record and could potentially help distinguish her from unidentified-person cases or recollections from individuals who may not have known her legal name.
Stanislawa’s disappearance has remained preserved in Canadian missing-person records. She has been listed with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police under case number 2018063233 and with Ontario’s Missing Adults under reference ON-MF-1994-03-01749. Information concerning her disappearance also identifies Toronto Police Service reference number 1994-1449.D11 and directs anyone with relevant information to the Toronto Police Service Missing Persons Unit or Canadian Crime Stoppers. Publicly available case information does not provide an explanation for what happened to Stanislawa after she was believed to have left for her medical appointment, and the sources located do not report a confirmed resolution to her disappearance. More than three decades later, the central facts remain painfully simple: 52-year-old Stanislawa Jurkiewicz was living near Fern Avenue and Roncesvalles Avenue in Toronto, was in contact with her family around the time she disappeared in March 1994, was believed to have set out for a doctor’s appointment, and never arrived. The unexplained gap between her home and that appointment remains at the heart of the case, leaving her family and investigators without a publicly known answer to where she went or what occurred after she left.Last Seen: Mar 4, 1994
