Charlotte Heimann was last seen in Rochester, New York, on October 28, 1981, a date that would mark the beginning of a troubling mystery. At that time, Charlotte was on the verge of completing her PhD at the University of Rochester School of Medicine, a significant milestone in her academic journey. However, her life took a drastic turn when she sought refuge in the hospital, prompted by fears of an unidentified man who had been troubling her. A nurse at the facility informed Charlotte's mother that she had voluntarily admitted herself for a psychiatric evaluation, knowing that the hospital would be required to keep her for a minimum of 72 hours. This decision, made out of desperation, was a reflection of her state of mind and the urgency of her situation.As the days passed, Charlotte's anxiety grew, particularly as her discharge approached. On the day she was set to leave the hospital, the same nurse mentioned that a man had come inquiring about her. Charlotte confided in the nurse about her apprehensions, expressing her fear that this man would be waiting for her upon her return home. Despite her desire to leave the hospital, the looming threat of this mysterious figure cast a shadow over her thoughts. Tragically, this would be the last known interaction anyone had with Charlotte, as she vanished shortly after her release.In the aftermath of her disappearance, authorities were reluctant to file a missing person report, dismissing her case initially. It wasn't until November 25, 1981, nearly a month later, that Charlotte was officially reported missing. This delay in action only deepened the concerns of her family and friends, who were left grappling with uncertainty and fear. The circumstances surrounding her last known moments remain shrouded in mystery, leaving a haunting question: what truly happened to Charlotte Heimann?Tonight we are joined by her granddaughter Shyla who is desperate for answer for her family.#podcast #crime #truecrimecommunity #missingperson #missing #coldcase #interview #Maine #Rochester #NY #CharlotteHeimann
