Police might have some new leads in the disappearance of Mary Badaracco, a Sherman mom who disappeared 27 years ago.

State police executed search warrants for evidence related to the investigation on Wednesday and searched property on Wakeman Hill Road in Sherman — Badaracco’s last known address.

About a dozen police cars were at the property on Wednesday afternoon, including from the state police major crimes unit. “No trespassing” signs are posted at the site. There was also a Department of Transportation vehicle that can be used to pour concrete or did it up.

Badaracco’s daughters reported her missing in August 1984. In 1991, she was declared legally dead, according to police, who are treating the case as a homicide.

For almost three decade, the case has remained open.

In hopes of gaining information to help solve it, police added Badaracco’s case to a deck of cold case playing cards that are distributed in prisons.

A billboard was also placed along Route 37 in Danbury to raise awareness of the case.

Badaracco’s case is listed among 17 open cases listed on the state police Web site.
