HOWLAND -- The Howland Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service are asking for the public's help in trying to locate Jacqueline Lombardi, who went missing from her Surrey Hill neighborhood March 19, 2011.
At the time of her disappearance, Lombardi was 22 years old. She left her home and never returned. Her last confirmed sighting was in Warren shortly afterward.
Police conducted an extensive investigation into her disappearance, but the trail went cold, according to a a release from the U.S. Marshals Service.
"Law enforcement is determined to find her," said Peter J. Elliott, U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of Ohio. "Every person matters. Ms. Lombardi deserves this effort, and the family deserves answers."
Around the ninth anniversary of Lombardi's disappearance, Howland police and the U.S. Marshals decided to take a fresh look into her case, and have been able to identify some of the people she visited after leaving her house. Now, law enforcement is asking for the public's help in solving the near-decade-old disappearance.
"We've made a lot of progress and we're trying to put the final pieces of the puzzle together," said Howland police Chief Nick Roberts. "There are people out there with information, and now is the time to come forward."
Lombardi's family and friends said they are concerned for her well-being because of her past associations with substance abuse.
