Missing Nurse Mystery Reopened After 56 Years! West Midlands Police are back on the case of Maria Aldridge, who vanished without a trace in 1968. Today would have been her 75th birthday, but her fate remains a chilling unknown.
Last Seen Training as Nurse in Birmingham
Maria was just 17 when she disappeared between February and June 1968. She was studying nursing at Dudley Road Hospital and lived near Birmingham. Since then, her whereabouts have baffled investigators.
The West Midlands Cold Case team is digging deep for new leads in one of their longest unsolved mysteries.
Mystery Man with Flowers at Family Home
Police want to track down a man known only as Paul or Michael Gough. He visited Maria’s family home in Stourbridge in May 1968 carrying flowers. His identity remains a complete mystery.
Officers suspect Maria might have left the area—or even fled the country—to start a new life.
Detectives Plead for Public Help
Maria had connections in both Stourbridge and Birmingham, but detectives aren’t ruling out the possibility she relocated elsewhere in the UK or abroad.
If you know anything, no matter how small, call West Midlands Police on 101. Quote PID number 102618 and help crack this decades-old puzzle once and for all.
