About this Case:
On December 1, 1996, Mary was traveling from Boulder, Colorado to Yuma, Arizona with her boyfriend. As they were leaving, family members observed tension between the two. Mary had told her sister Colleen that she was "beginning to hear voices." When Mary didn't check in with her family to confirm a Western Union transfer in the summer of 1997, her family began to worry that something had happened to her. There has been no activity on her credit card or driver's license since her disappearance, and thus has not been seen or heard from since she left Colorado. She was last seen wearing Levi jeans, a button down blouse, and boots or sneakers. Mary was traveling in an orange and black 1969 Chevrolet El Camino pickup, license plate KPX761 (state unknown). Anyone with information about this case is asked to please contact the Boulder Police Department, the Phoenix (AZ) Police Department, or the Missing and Unidentified Persons Unit at 602-534-2121.
