Whatever happened to Sandra Sollie? The Genesee County woman has been missing now for 13 years.
Sandra Sollie grew up in Oakfield, near Batavia and was a 1973 graduate of Oakfield-Alabama High School. She was living and working near Rochester when she disappeared on May 23rd, 1994. Thirteen years later, the family still has no answers.
Sollie was 39 years old, divorced and 7-months pregnant with her first child when she disappeared. She was last seen at a shopping plaza in the Town of Macedon, New York. "She was going to have a boy named Brandon, and I was going to give her a baby shower," said her mother, Nancy Cervone.
Nancy and her husband, Dominic say when she first disappeared, they stayed at her apartment for three months, thinking maybe she would come back. She never did.
"She had the baby's room all fixed up, the baby's closet. Oh, she had it so pretty in there," said Nancy.
Sandra disappeared the same day as little Kali Ann Poulton. She was a little blonde Rochester-area girl who was riding her bike. She was only five miles from where Sandra disappeared. "The investigators they even said that they thought it was together, you know," said Dominic, "because that little girl was only five miles away from where my daughter was."
Turns out, that was not the case. A man was convicted in Kali's case and the little girl's body was discovered.
Sandra's nephew, Christopher Glow, who lives in Depew, hands out flyers in the area hoping something will jog someone's memory. "We've been distraught every year, the family," he said.
State police investigators say the case has been sent to a special squad known as the Homicide Review Team in Albany. They will go over all of the evidence. Police say they have several theories on what happened to Sandra, all involving people known to her. Investigators say foul play is suspected. More than one-hundred people have been interviewed as part of their investigation, including Sandra's ex-husband.
"I just hope I hear something. Before I die I hope I hear something. I probably never will," said Nancy Cervone.
