Details of Disappearance

Ruth Egnoski disappeared in 1966. Private investigators hired by the family said she took a bus from Delavan to Chicago, but they lost her trail there. Police found Egnoski's driver's license and Social Security card in the custodian's office of Wileman Elementary School in Delavan in 1973. Her father worked there as a custodian. In the mid-1980s, it is reported that two blue empty (despite reporting to the contrary) hard-sided suitcases were found by a school employee. The suitcases had been hidden above the suspended ceiling in the custodian's office. In 2002, police dug a 12-foot-wide pit behind 1014 Center St., Delavan, the house Egnoski lived in since it was built in 1962. Her family sold the home in 1971. Police found a crawl space under the family room of the house but no evidence connected to Egnoski's disappearance. Both of her parents are now deceased.
