http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/b/bump_elizabeth.html Elizabeth Bump Above Images: Bump, circa 1993 Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance Missing Since: April 9, 1993 from New York City, New York Classification: Endangered Missing Date Of Birth: December 31, 1969 Age: 38 years old Height and Weight: 5'5, 135 pounds Distinguishing Characteristics: Brown hair, hazel eyes. Clothing/Jewelry Description: A dark-colored raincoat and a green/blue jogging suit. Details of Disappearance Bump was last seen in the New York City borough of Staten Island on April 9, 1993. She worked as a home health care aide and was leaving a patient's residence at the time of her disappearance. Bump's patient told authorities that he witnessed two unidentified Caucasian men summoning her across the street as she exited the home. Bump has never been heard from again. Bump's 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix was discovered abandoned several blocks from the patient's residence on April 14, 1993, five days after Bump vanished. Authorities said that the vehicle had been wiped clean of fingerprints by the time it was located. There was no sign of Bump at the scene. Bump had previously lived with her sister Linda, who was married to convicted automobile thief Charles Chorman. A photo of Chorman is posted below this case summary. He was released from prison in December 1992, five months before Bump disappeared. Chorman initially assisted with the police investigation into his sister-in-law's disappearance. It was rumored that he and Bump were having an affair at the time she vanished, but that has never been proven. Authorities began to re-examine Chorman's possible role in Bump's case in 1998, when Chorman's girlfriend suddenly vanished from New York City. Anna Marie Scivetti was romantically involved with Chorman in the mid-to-late 1990's while he was still wed to Bump's sister. Chorman had been arrested for abusing Scivetti in 1997. Scivetti's family believes she met with foul play. There has been no sign of her since 1998. Authorities have not arrested anyone in connection with either Bump or Scivetti's disappearances. Chorman has refused to cooperate with investigators due to the fact that there is no evidence of foul play in either case. Both cases remain open and unsolved.

New clues in haunting mystery of missing Staten Island woman Published: Sunday, September 02, 2012, 5:58 AM Updated: Sunday, September 02, 2012, 2:05 PM By John M. Annese/Staten Island Advance Staten Island Advance Follow 16 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." http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2012/...ng_mystery.html |
