Vicke Lee (Lockwood) Lamberton, is a woman who disappeared from Worcester, Massachusetts in February 1974.[1][2] Her case remains unsolved.
Background and disappearance[edit]
Lamberton moved to Worcester from Nebraska with her fiancé, Lowell, around 1968 and subsequently obtained a degree from Clark University. At the time of her disappearance, she was pursuing a master's degree in Psychology from Assumption College. She was living at 74 Beaver Street in Worcester's Columbus Park neighborhood and had been separated from her husband for the previous six weeks.[3][4]
Friends and family reported differing accounts of Lamberton's whereabouts around the time of her disappearance. On or about February 1, she contacted a friend by telephone and reported that she was going to Colorado on a ski vacation.[1][3][4] About the same time, she telephoned her estranged husband and scheduled a dinner date for which she never arrived.[3] Both her husband and family reported that Lamberton had stored personal belongings in the garage of an Assumption College professor with whom she may have had an intimate relationship.[1][3][4][2]
Investigation[edit]
After her disappearance, her husband reported that an anonymous phone call was placed to her family's former home in Harper, Kansas stating that Lamberton had gone to Europe. Police investigations failed to find any evidence of this trip. He also reported receiving a letter of acceptance from New York University addressed to his wife, but found no evidence that she had enrolled there.[3]
While family and friends had searched for Lamberton in the succeeding years, a formal missing persons report was not filed with Worcester police until 2010.[3] Authorities had theorized that that Lamberton might be the unidentified Lady of the Dunes, found in Provincetown, Massachusetts in the summer of 1974, but later ruled out any connection.[3]
