In 1975, 18-year-old Teresa “Bunny” Fittin disappeared without a trace after backing out of her driveway in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Nearly 50 years later, her mother, Jocelia Travisano, continues to search for answers.
What Happened
On July 28, 1975, Teresa “Bunny” Fittin, an 18-year-old waitress, disappeared after leaving her home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, driving her 1966 Nash Rambler. Despite years of investigation, the circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unclear. There are many theories, but none that have brought her home.
Who Is Bunny Fittin?
Bunny Fittin was a petite, talented young woman with a love for seamstress work and a bright future ahead of her. After graduating high school, she worked as a waitress at a local hotel in Fort Lauderdale. Her name, given by her father, was a cherished reminder of her birth on Good Friday, even though she was a little early for her Easter Sunday due date. Bunny’s life was full of promise, but in 1975, it was tragically cut short.
Background or Timeline
Bunny’s mother, Jocelia Travisano, recalls how close they were before her disappearance. Bunny was seen leaving her house on the evening of July 28, 1975, but was reported missing on August 1. She was last seen dressed nicely and pulling out of the driveway in her vehicle. For years, police have followed various leads, including investigating theories that she might have had a fight with her boyfriend or been pregnant. In the early years, the case went cold, but the efforts were renewed when the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) became involved in 2007.
Public or Social Media Reaction
Over the years, the case has sparked interest online, with some theorizing that Bunny could have been one of Ted Bundy’s victims, as Bundy was active in Florida during the same time period. Social media and online groups dedicated to missing persons have also rallied around the case, providing renewed interest and support. The story has ignited compassion and a determination to help a mother find her daughter.
Official Statement or What Happens Next
Sunshine State Sonar, a non-profit organization, is actively searching the Florida canals for Bunny’s car, hoping that finding it will finally provide answers. Despite ongoing efforts, no concrete evidence has been found. Authorities continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward and assist in resolving this nearly five-decade-old mystery.
