Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP84004) and 5 other sources
Rose Ann Hockenson, a 12-year-old girl, went missing on February 14, 1971, in Naranja, Miami-Dade County, Florida. She was last seen leaving school, and a relative reportedly witnessed her being forced into a car. Despite the alarming nature of this abduction, few details about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance have emerged over the years.

At the time of her disappearance, Rose was described as a white female with long, wavy brown hair and blue eyes. She was approximately 5'1" to 5'3" tall and weighed around 100-105 pounds. Rose wore glasses and had freckles, distinguishing her appearance. Her case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to list it as an endangered missing person case.

Investigators have pursued leads, but after decades without new information, Rose's whereabouts remain unknown. Her disappearance continues to be an open case, with authorities urging anyone with information to contact the Miami-Dade Police Department.
