Details of Disappearance

Heimann was last seen in Rochester, New York on October 30, 1981. After a drug overdose, she checked herself into the Rochester Psychiatric Center for an evaluation. She said she did not, in fact, need an evaluation, but she was afraid of a man and knew the hospital would have to hold her for 72 hours and she could be safe there. A man allegedly came looking for Heimann on the day she was scheduled to leave the hospital.

On the day of her disappearance, Heimann left the hospital on a four-hour pass, saying she had to go pay her rent. She told a nurse at the hospital she was afraid to come home because the man she was afraid of would be there. She has never been heard from again. She usually took the bus for transportation in 1981.

Since her disappearance she hasn't withdrawn any money from her bank account, but she had very little money in any case; her only income was $250 a month in disability payments. The checks were stopped after her disappearance, because she had failed to claim them.

Authorities initially refused to take a missing persons report; Heimann's mother was not able to report her missing until November 25, nearly a month after her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.

At the time she went missing, Heimann was only months away from obtaining her Ph.D. from the Rochester University School of Medicine.
