- Details of Disappearance:
- Mary Romero vanished from her home in Starks, Louisiana on January 14, 1992. She lived alone but was close to her daughters. She talked to one of them on the phone shortly before disappearing; they argued a bit, but nothing unusual.
A neighbor saw her running barefoot in the rain late that night – the last anyone saw her. Her Bible was open on the table, and coffee mugs were left out. Pictures had been moved around in her house, like someone had rearranged things. Importantly, she left her shoes and coat behind.
Because she’d disappeared briefly before, police initially thought she’d run away. But now, they suspect something bad happened to her. The case is still a mystery.
