Patricia Viola’s remains were found on Rockaway Beach the year after she disappeared, but more than a decade later, DNA testing finally connected the bones in Queens to Patricia Viola.

On February 13, 2001, Patricia Viola of Bogota, New Jersey, reset the house alarm at 1:11 p.m., and left the house. She has not been seen since.

Theories are that she may have left her home to walk up to a neighborhood RiteAid to purchase a Valentine’s gift. The family is asking if you worked at a RiteAid in New Jersey and you remember a woman asking you about a Valentine’s Day Gift of a singing monkey in a cage that was carried by RiteAid, to come forward as you might have information as to what happened to Pat that day.
Pat left he home without her epileptic mediation, purse, wallet, identification, credit cards, cell phone and house keys. At this time they do not know if she walked or took a taxi or was picked up by someone. Neighbors report that they did not see anything.
