Dean Marie Pyle Peters (Deanie Peters)
On February 5, 1981, at Forest Hills Central Middle School, Grand Rapids, Kent County, MI, Deanie Peters disappeared while attending her brother’s wrestling tournament. Deanie told her mother that she was going to the restroom, but she never returned and no one questioned who was at the school that night could place her near any of the school’s restrooms.
Deanie had no history of family problems or running away; police could find no reason for her disappearance.
Ten years after her she went missing, Deanie Peters was legally declared dead. In May 2009 an area in Lowell, MI near an old schoolhouse was evacuated in search of her body, but nothing was found. Police are currently pursuing other leads.
