Fatal Thompson missing person case death of Alicia Balderston – Obituary
Authorities have confirmed that skeletal remains discovered in Thompson in October 2024 belong to Alicia Balderston, a 33-year-old woman from Plainfield who had been missing since March 2023.
Balderston was last seen at the Elite Inn in Plainfield before she vanished. Her family reported her missing and launched an extensive public effort to find her, including the creation of a Facebook group called “Alicia, Where Are You?” On May 31, police formally identified her remains.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner was unable to determine the cause of death. Balderston’s family has asked the public to refrain from making assumptions about the circumstances surrounding her passing.
Loved ones remembered Alicia as a flawed but kind-hearted individual, emphasizing that she was more than just a case—she was a mother, daughter, niece, cousin, and friend who touched many lives.
Funeral arrangements have yet to be shared.
