Ruth just vanished without a trace on Box Hill "The Ruth Wilson Case" UK-1995
Ruth Wilson is a British 16 year old teenager from Betchworth, near Dorking in Surrey, England who disappeared on 27 November 1995. As of 2021, her disappearance has not been solved.
At around 11.30 am, Wilson took a taxi into Dorking.
Around midday, she ordered flowers for her stepmother. Ruth asked that they not be delivered until the following Wednesday. Wilson spent the afternoon in Dorking Library.
Around 4 pm she took a taxi from Dorking railway station to Box Hill. She was dropped off on a bridleway a short way from the Hand in Hand pub (now The Box Tree) on Box Hill. The taxi driver stated that Ruth displayed unusual behaviour in that she simply stood still in the rain as he drove off.
This was notable as the taxi driver observed that people typically walk away after they have been dropped off. In other reports the taxi driver stated that Wilson appeared to be looking round for someone. The taxi driver was the last person to see her at 4.30 pm.
At the time of her disappearance Ruth Wilson was wearing a red knitted jumper, black velvet trousers, black pixie boots and a small lady's watch on her left wrist. She had a small blue duffel bag with a personal stereo and tapes.
