  • 123: The Disappearance of Yeda “Dede” Rosenthal | Missing Woman in New Jersey

    123: The Disappearance of Yeda “Dede” Rosenthal | Missing Woman in New Jersey
    Feb 17 2026


    When 32-year-old Yeda “Dede” Rosenthal failed to show up for work in February 1991, her coworkers immediately knew something was wrong. Dede was a dedicated behavioral management specialist at the Elwyn Institute, known for her commitment to supporting autistic clients.

    A welfare check at her Cherry Hill, New Jersey apartment revealed troubling signs: an unlocked door, untouched newspapers, personal belongings left behind — and no sign of Dede. Her car was still in the parking lot. Her cat was left alone in the winter cold.

    In this episode of She Goes by Jane, we examine the unsolved disappearance of a missing woman whose remains have never been found, the early missteps in the investigation, and why Dede’s family has always believed she did not leave voluntarily.


    🎙️     Featuring a special guest reading by actress Laura Ault.


    📍     Cherry Hill, New Jersey | February 1991

    If you have information about the disappearance of Yeda “Dede” Rosenthal, please contact the Cherry Hill Police Department at (856) 665-1200.
