And despite 11:00 p.m. seeming like a peculiar time to pick up groceries, that was actually Norine’s typical routine. She preferred shopping at night in order to avoid the afternoon rush of customers. This time, though, a trip meant to bring Christmas joy to her family resulted in the complete opposite.
John has since stated that he believes his wife was murdered. He also claims that a witness recalled there being an argument in the Pathmark parking lot that evening– despite it remaining unclear whether or not a police report regarding that fight was ever filed. He has since remarried and was never formally named a suspect in Norine’s case.
And in terms of Norine’s case progress, some of her friends– including Elaine– worked together in 2017 to get her cold case reopened. Now, even though there have been no recent updates in the case, Norine’s friends are working with the Nassau Police Department to help spread awareness and keep her disappearance at the forefront of community members’ minds.
They have also created a Facebook page entitled “Find Norine” to accomplish the same goal online.
Norine was between five foot two and five foot three, weighed about one hundred and twenty-five pounds and had black hair. She would be sixty-three years old today.
If you have any information regarding Norine’s disappearance, you are urged to contact the Nassau County Police Department at (516) 573-8800.
