Noreen was last seen in Bowmanville at approximately 11:00pm in the area of Old Highway 2 and Waverly Rd in Bowmanville. She left a friend's house and told her she was going to wait for the bus to go home. The bus driver was interviewed and said that Noreen never got on the bus.
A witness reported seeing a young girl get into a small blue car at the same approximate time and location. The car was possibly a 1957-1959 Ford Prefect (see photo).
The Bowmanville Police Department investigated Noreen's disappearance, and an extensive ground search was organized, but neither Noreen nor her remains were ever located.
In 2003 the Durham Regional Police Service Homicide Unit revisited the disappearance of Noreen, and local media highlighted how her disappearance was a mystery. No information or Crime Stoppers tips were received by investigators.
In 2018, based on a tip, the police did an excavation on Highway 57, but no new evidence was found.
