Details of Disappearance

Colborne was last seen in Rhinelander, Wisconsin on July 14th, 1977. She is believed to have walked away from County Farm Nursing Home around 5:40 pm and has never been seen or heard from since. (note, that location is correct, the business moved but the building is still there at the old site.) Extensive ground and air searches were conducted in the wooded and water areas near the nursing home, but she was never located. Her whereabouts remain unknown. Some people said they saw her later in Woodruff or McNaughton region.
