Anna Marie Scivetti dreamed of becoming a singer before she disappeared
nna Marie Scivetti was a survivor. She managed to escape a physically abusive relationship, moving out of the Staten Island, N.Y., apartment she shared with her boyfriend, a married man whom she believed was separated from his wife, Linda.


Anna Marie Scivetti was a beloved sister, daughter and aunt

After she moved out, a suspicious fire burnt down her new apartment. But Anna, who had also recently found a new job, didn't let that get her off-track. She found a roommate and another place to live in the community of Tottenville — ironically, the same community her boyfriend, Charles Chorman, lived with his wife and son.

On August 19, 1998, Anna was scheduled to meet her new landlord to give him money towards the apartment. She and her new roommate planned to have dinner before heading over to the new place.

But Anna never showed.

She was last seen leaving Ferrar Foods in South Plainfield, N.J., where she worked as a receptionist.
Anna's car: Mazda bearing license plate U20-5G2 was never found
Records show that she crossed the Outerbridge Crossing and made it back to Staten Island. That was also the last known trace of the car she drove, a blue-gray, four-door Mazda.

Phone records show the last call she made was to Charles Chorman, the man who Anna had an on and off relationship with for four years — the same man who spent more than four years in federal prison in connection with the largest stolen car ring in New York state history.

Though a free-spirit by nature, Anna would never leave her dog without making arrangements. She also left behind $1000 in the apartment where she was staying temporarily before the move. Anna's family knew that she would never leave without saying goodbye, or leave her dog unattended, or leave with no money in her pocket.

That's what they tried to tell police when they arrived at the precinct later that night to report Anna missing.

But police didn't act on that information for almost a week.

By the time police finally sought to question Chorman, he was off on vacation with his family.

When he returned, he hired a criminal defense attorney — the same attorney who represented him in the auto ring case — and refused to talk to police. The attorney —John Murphy Jr., son of Congressman John Murphy, who was convicted of taking a bribe in the undercover FBI operation known as Abscam — told reporters that there was no proof that a crime had even been committed.

Anna's family turned to the media for help, and contacted Friends of Jennifer, a local volunteer group that conducts searches for missing children and adults.

It was then that Anna's family learned of the horrifying connection between Anna and another woman that Friends of Jennifer had searched for only five years earlier — Chorman's own sister-in-law.


Elizabeth Bump, Charles Chorman's sister-in-law, disappeared five years before Anna vanished
Elizabeth Bump, the sister of Linda Chorman, also mysteriously vanished from Staten Island only months after Chorman returned home from prison. Elizabeth disappeared April 9, 1993. She worked as a home health care aide and had just left the home of an elderly couple. She was last spotted outside that residence speaking with two men who appeared to be in their thirties.

Her car, a Grand Prix, was discovered five days later wiped clean of fingerprints. There were also no signs of tampering.

Elizabeth's family — including her sister Linda and brother-in-law — volunteered in the search efforts. Linda Chorman asked the public for help in finding her sister, telling reporters, "Please help us find Elizabeth. We need more information. Anything. We're at a standstill right now."

Shortly Anna disappeared, Linda Chorman retained an attorney of her own who claims that he was hired to act as a buffer between her and police.

Linda Chorman has not made comments to the press regarding Anna's disappearance. Chorman, however, was apparently maintaining two residences at some point in their marriage — one with Linda and another with Anna. The telephone of the apartment he shared with Anna was even listed in the telephone directory under his name.


Elizabeth Bump and Anna Marie Scivetti both knew Charles Chorman, and both have now seemingly vanished.
Anna moved out of that apartment, which incidentally was searched seven months following Anna's disappearance. But the apartment, which was by that time vacant, was apparently "wiped clean."

At one point, Anna had obtained an order of protection against Chorman after an incident in which he grabbed her by the shoulders, threw her on the floor, punched her head and pulled her hair. Following that Sept. 30, 1997 occurrence, he was arrested and charged with third-degree assault and second-degree harassment.

He pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of disorderly conduct and was back on the streets after paying an $85 fine.

He was also ordered to stay away from Anna.

That Nov. 24, 1997 court appearance was surely not Chorman's first. Chorman, the former owner of a car wrecking company, was convicted on federal charges of being the ringleader of the biggest auto theft ring in New York state history.

In May 1988, a federal jury in North Carolina — where cars stolen in New York were taken to be sold illegally — found Chorman guilty of 12 counts of conspiring to transport and actually transporting stolen autos and two counts of altering VIN numbers. He could have gotten up to 70 years in prison, but was sentenced to 12-1/2 years in prison and $290 in fines, and was released after serving about four years of his sentence.

Following Chorman's sentencing in September 1988 — five years before Elizabeth Bump's disappearance — U.S. Attorney Douglas Cannon, who prosecuted the case, told the Staten Island Advance he was satisfied with the sentence. "There's no point in locking a man away forever," he said in the article. "This was apparently the judge's way of getting Chorman's attention and making an example."

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance

Missing Since: August 19, 1998 from New York City, New York
Classification: Endangered Missing
Date Of Birth: September 20, 1963
Age: 34 years old
Height and Weight: 5'2, 115 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Scivetti wears eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Medical Conditions: Scivetti is manic depressive and requires medication to regulate her condition.


Details of Disappearance

Scivetti was last seen leaving Ferrar Foods, where she was employed as a receptionist, in South Plainfield, New Jersey on August 19, 1998. Scivetti was driving her four-door blue/gray 1988 Mazda with New York license plates numbered 420-5GT or U20-5G2 at the time. An image of Scivetti's vehicle is posted below this case summary. Traffic records indicated that Scivetti drove over the Outerbridge Crossing and returned to the New York City borough of Staten Island, her place of residency. Phone records indicate that she called Charles Chorman, her sporadic boyfriend of four years, shortly thereafter. Scivetti has never been seen again. A photo of Chorman is posted below this case summary.
Scivetti was scheduled to meet her new roommate for dinner and then pay her landlord for her new apartment in the Tottenville area. She left her dog and $1,000 behind in her temporary apartment. Scivetti's family said that it was highly uncharacteristic of her to leave without making arrangements for her pet's well-being and without announcing her travel plans. Scivetti's car has never been located.

Her loved ones believe that Chorman is responsible for Scivetti's disappearance. Chorman had been arrested and charged with physically assaulting Scivetti in September 1997, nearly one year prior to her disappearance. He pled guilty to the lesser charge of disorderly conduct. Scivetti won an order of protection from the courts at that time, which stated that Chorman was forced to stay away from her.

Scivetti believed that Chorman was separated from his wife, Linda Chorman, at the time they began their relationship in 1994. Chorman apparently kept two residences at the time, one with his wife and another with Scivetti. Scivetti moved out of the home she shared with Chorman and her new apartment burned down shortly thereafter in what is referred to as a "suspicious" incident. Scivetti was preparing to move into her new, permanent apartment at the time of her August 1998 disappearance.

Chorman was rumored to have been romantically involved with his wife's sister, Elizabeth Bump, in the early 1990s. Bump vanished from New York City in 1993 and has never been located. Chorman initially cooperated with authorities during their investigation into Bump's case at the time. Chorman has never been arrested in either woman's disappearance, but he was convicted in an unrelated autombile theft trial in New York in 1988. He maintains his innocence in both Scivetti and Bump's cases. Scivetti was declared legally dead in August 2005.

Some agencies state that Scivetti disappeared from the New York City, New York borough of Staten Island.

11 years after NYC woman vanished, mystery remains
August 22, 2009 By The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — On Aug. 19, 1998, Anna Marie Scivetti (Ski-VET'-tee) had arranged to meet a friend for dinner and to place a deposit on her new Staten Island apartment.

She set out in her blue-gray sedan from her new job in South Plainfield, N.J., traveling over the Outerbridge Crossing. But she never arrived to any of her appointments.

Her family still wants to know what happened to her. Relatives say they have doubled a reward for information about her disappearance to $50,000.

Scivetti's sister, Angel DeRuvo, says she has no doubt that her sibling was murdered.

District Attorney Daniel Donovan says that the investigation into Scivetti's disappearance remains open. One of his detectives is assigned to the case.

Scivetti was 34 years old when she vanished. Her car was never found.

New clues in haunting mystery of missing Staten Island woman

Family photoThe disappearance of Anna Marie Scivetti, above, who was last seen on Aug. 19, 1998, now is being linked by the district attorney's office to the case of Elizabeth Bump.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- It's one of Staten Island's more enduring mysteries: More than 14 years ago, a free-spirited, 34-year-old West Brighton woman named Anna Marie Scivetti vanished on her way home from work and was never seen again.

She has been declared legally dead, and now, prosecutors hope a slew of new details about her last known moments will shake loose a witness or unlock a memory that leads to the truth about her fate.

"There's not a day goes by that I don't think of my sister. It has affected generations of my family, from my mother to my children. How could it not?" says Angel DeRuvo, Ms. Scivetti's sister, whose persistence over the past 14 years has spurred investigators to keep plugging.

"The pain doesn't go away," says Ms. DeRuvo, who doesn't doubt that her sister was slain.

Ms. Scivetti was last seen on Aug. 19, 1998. After her workday as a receptionist in South Plainfield, N.J., she traversed the Outerbridge Crossing en route to dinner with a friend. She was also scheduled to place a deposit on an apartment in Tottenville. She never showed up for either appointment.



Ms. Bump, 39, of Tottenville, vanished in April 1993.
Her car, a blue-gray Mazda four-door sedan, New York license plate U205G2, was never found.


NEW DEVELOPMENT

District Attorney Daniel Donovan revealed that his office has formally linked her disappearance to an earlier one -- that of Elizabeth Bump, a 39-year-old Tottenville woman who disappeared in April 1993 and was never found.

"We think that there's some common denominators that link up the two disappearances," Donovan says, noting that the two women shared a physical similarity.

Linking the cases also means the same group of detectives will be working on both disappearances, he says.

Ms. Bump was the sister-in-law of Ms. Scivetti's ex-boyfriend Charles Chorman.

Donovan would not refer to Chorman as a suspect.



REVEALING DETAILS

Prosecutors have also released a timeline of Ms. Scivetti's last known actions several hours after she left work the day she disappeared.

Here's what prosecutors revealed:

* The weekend prior, she and Chorman went to Woodstock, N.Y., and when she returned, she complained to a friend that she had a terrible time.

*On the day of her disappearance, while Ms. Scivetti was working at Ferrar Foods in South Plainfield, she paged Chorman about 12:30 p.m. That led him to call her from a pay phone at a nearby QuickChek. The conversation lasted 17 minutes.

* At 5:30 p.m., she received a phone call at work that upset her.

* She left work at 6:04 p.m.

* At 8 p.m., Chorman called her at home. She and Chorman were then spotted at a South Shore bar where they were regulars. Patrons there said they saw the two together until the early-morning hours, possibly until after 1 a.m. By those accounts, she appeared to be having a good time, he appeared to be brooding.

* Chorman showed up at Edkins Auto sometime between 7 and 8 a.m. A witness said he was disheveled, with scratches on his face and hands. He said he had gotten into a bar fight.



A CRIMINAL HISTORY

Ms. Scivetti's family continues to focus on Chorman, a convicted felon, and Ms. DeRuvo believes he has information about her disappearance.

Advance reports and court records show Ms. Scivetti obtained an order of protection in late 1997 after Chorman allegedly attacked her. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, yet Ms. Scivetti continued to see him, according to her family and Advance reports.

Chorman also served four years in prison on federal charges about 25 years ago for masterminding a car-theft ring that authorities say stole 500 cars worth $6 million.

Chorman has refused to be questioned in connection with Ms. Scivetti's disappearance, according to authorities.



REMAINS SILENT

In the ensuing weeks and years, Chorman has remained publicly silent, and his lawyer, John M. Murphy Jr., has repeatedly maintained Chorman's innocence in both Ms. Scivetti and Ms. Bump's disappearances.

Murphy has referred to Chorman as the "Richard Jewell of Staten Island" -- the reference is to the security guard who spotted a bomb during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and alerted police, only to be wrongly labeled in the media as the chief suspect in the bombing.

Murphy last week did not answer a request to interview Chorman, and attempts to reach Chorman directly were unsuccessful.

In the meantime, Ms. DeRuvo, now 53 and living in Grymes Hill, says her sister's disappearance rocked her to the core.

"Every time I get a year older, I think of her birthday. What would she have looked like? Would she have been married? Would she have had children? She was robbed of all of these things," Ms DeRuvo says.

She tries to look at the world through her sister's eyes. Ms. Scivetti sang, and loved music and poetry and art, so Ms. DeRuvo tries to imagine which modern musicians her sister would enjoy.

"She would definitely like Adele, she would love Adele, Amy Winehouse," Ms. DeRuvo says.


LASTING IMPACT

And the experience of losing her sister has built walls around her, she says. "To this day, I keep a certain facade, a layer. I don't let people in."

Donovan says Ms. DeRuvo approached him when he first ran for the district attorney seat in 2003, and he has kept the case an active investigation ever since.

"We're poring over everything now, and we have not given up hope," he says.

And Ms. Scivetti's family still maintains a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of her killer.

Anyone with information is asked to call Donovan's office at 718-876-6300, or send an e-mail to info@rcda.nyc.gov.

"I'm putting it out there 14 years later," Ms. DeRuvo says, "because someone, somewhere, somehow must have seen something."
