Purchase A Daughter's Journey: ...and Story of Resilienceby Alison Morea Duiker, Lonnie's daughter, to learn more about Lonnie.

On the evening of January 6, 1981, Lonene “Lonnie” Rogers, a 29-year-old mother of two, returned to her home in Hayfield Township, Pennsylvania, after work. A blizzard was sweeping through the area, but Lonnie had plans to tell her abusive husband, Bud, that she and the kids were leaving him for good. According to Bud, the two argued that night and Lonnie left the house around 12:45 am, leaving behind her car, purse, hearing aids, and even her children. She was never seen or heard from again.

Despite decades of speculation and renewed advocacy efforts, Lonnie’s case remains unsolved, leaving her family and community asking, what happened to Lonnie Rogers?

Lonene “Lonnie” Rogers was last seen on the evening of January 6, 1981. According to her husband, Bud, he last saw her around 12:45 am on January 7 at their home on Route 98 in Hayfield Township, Pennsylvania.

Bud claims Lonnie left in the middle of a blizzard after an argument, leaving behind all of her belongings, including her car, purse, hearing aids, medication, and children.

If you have any information about Lonnie’s case, please contact the Pennsylvania State Police at 814-332-6911.
