Chapter Nine: the Disappearance Of Beverly Potts

Show Notes

 

Welcome to Missing in Ohio, a podcast devoted to telling the stories of Ohio’s missing loved ones. I am your host Kelly Hammonds and this is Chapter Nine: the disappearance of Beverly Potts.

 

Beverly Rose Potts is a missing child from Cleveland, Ohio. She was last seen on August 24, 1951 walking towards her house after a performance arts show in a local park. Beverly was 10 years old at the time of her disappearance and would be 77 years old today. Beverly is a white female with blonde hair and blue eyes. At the time of her disappearance she was approximately 4’11” tall and 90 pounds.

 

Beverly was wearing a Size 14 or 16 girls' blue denim jeans with a side zipper and no label, bright red cotton panties with no tag and with elastic around the waist but not around the leg holes, green socks, a white cotton Honey lane undershirt with a tag, a reddish-pink turtleneck jersey with no label, a navy blue poplin jacket with no label and both pockets torn, size 5 or 5 1/2 brown Karrybrooke Sport shoes loafers which had been re-soled and -heeled, two metal hair clasps with brown plastic covers, and a yellow gold ring. The ring is similar to a wedding ring and has spaces for seven or eight small stones, but the stones are all missing.

 

Beverly had her hair cut in a short bob with bangs shortly before her disappearance. She has wide-set eyes and gaps between her teeth, and her upper and lower molars have silver fillings. She has a vaccination scar on her upper left arm, a small scar over her left eyebrow, and a kidney-shaped birthmark about one-inch-long and three-eighths of an inch wide on her instep. Beverly had a distinctive, duck-like gait in 1951, with her toes turned out. She was tall for her age at the time of her disappearance and could have easily passed for twelve. She may have grown tall in adulthood.
