After 26 years, authorities have finally made an arrest in the disappearance and death of Catherine Parisi, a young Cleveland mother who vanished without a trace in 1997. Michael Bukowski, 50, of Toledo, faces multiple charges including murder, involuntary manslaughter, abduction, tampering with evidence, and gross abuse of a corpse.
CLEVELAND , Ohio - 19 Investigates has learned that authorities have made an arrest in the disappearance and death of Catherine Parisi , a young Cleveland mother who mysteriously vanished without a trace in 1997. Michael Bukowski , 50, of Toledo, is charged with murder, involuntary manslaughter, abduction, tampering with evidence, and gross abuse of a corpse, according to court records unsealed Tuesday.
Bukowski was arrested by Toledo Police on Monday and is currently in the Lucas County Jail, records show. Parisi, who went by Cathy, was just 25 years old when she was last seen in April of 1997. Parisi was working as an escort and took a call in Parma, but no one answered the door and she was never seen again. The address was located on the west side of Cleveland on Brookpark Road off I-480. Years passed, and Cathy’s daughters grew up without their mom. “I can only remember our family broken. So it’s nice to have those pictures of us all together but I don’t remember any of it,” Angelina Speer told 19 Investigates back in 2020, as she looked through family photos. Four years ago, 19 Investigates discovered homicide detectives with Cleveland Police were investigating new leads in Kathy’s case. Cecelia and Angelina don’t think their mom’s case got enough resources or attention at the time she went missing because of what she did for a living. “She was funny and intelligent and the life of the party, and she was always a good person,” Cecelia Parisi said.
