Little Miss Panasoffkee Maureen Rowan’s Daughter Speaks Out in Exclusive Interview
Send us a text
In this powerful episode of The Cold Cases Podcast, we sit down with Ann Patrick — the daughter of Maureen “Cookie” Rowan, recently identified as the woman long known only as “Little Miss Lake Panasoffkee.” After more than fifty years without answers, Ann opens up about what this discovery means to her family, the pain of growing up without the truth, and the urgent need for information as the investigation enters a new chapter.
Ann shares personal memories, emotional reflections, and a heartfelt plea to the public. She is specifically seeking people who may have known her mother, Maureen Rowan, or her estranged husband, Charles Emery Rowan Sr., during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Anyone who remembers the couple — whether from Tampa, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Enigma (Georgia), or surrounding areas — may hold the missing pieces needed to move this case forward.
This episode covers:
• The moment Ann learned her mother had finally been identified
• What Maureen “Cookie” Rowan was like as a person and a mother
• Details about the strained relationship between Maureen and Charles Rowan Sr.
• Why Maureen was never reported missing
• What investigators still need from the public
• Ann’s plea for anyone with memories, stories, or connections to come forward
For more than five decades, Maureen’s identity and story were lost to time. Now, with her name restored, Ann and her family are searching for truth, closure, and justice. This is an emotional, deeply human conversation — and a reminder that even the smallest detail could make a difference.
If you have information about Maureen “Cookie” Rowan or Charles Emery Rowan Sr., please contact the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office at 352-793-2621. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.
