In 1966, Louise Pietrewicz disappeared without a trace. The mystery of her whereabouts appeared to be solved with the discovery of a woman’s remains found in a burlap sack on Long Island.
October, 1966
Louise was in a troubled marriage, and after 16 years she had separated from her husband, and moved to her parents' home in Sagaponack. She took her 11-year-old daughter Sandy with her, with plans to leave to Florida. And then the 38-year-old disappeared after withdrawing close to $2,000 from her bank account. When her purse was recovered a week later on the shoulder of Route 25, with a WWII bond and her Social Security card inside, it should have raised concern on the part of the authorities. Instead they treated the case as a missing person and not a murder, and the local newspaper took no notice of it.
