25-year-old Mary Shotwell Little worked as a secretary in a bank in Atlanta, Georgia. In August of 1965, she married Roy Little, a bank examiner. Just six weeks after their wedding day, Roy left town on a training course. On the afternoon of 14 October, Mary went grocery shopping, and that evening, she went to the Lennox Square Shopping Center for dinner with a co-worker at the Picadilly Cafeteria.

At around 8PM, she left the Lennox Square Shopping Center to her parked car, but was never seen again....

When Mary didn’t show up for work, she was reported missing. Initially, the security guard at the shopping center said he couldn’t find her car. However, later when police arrived, her 1965 Mercury Comet was found in the car park where she had left it. A coating of red dust was covering the car’s exterior. It looked as if it had been driven along a dirt road.

A stocking that had been cut with a knife was found on the floor of the car along with underwear. Specks of blood were found on the undergarments as well as the steering wheel and the handle. It was determined it was Mary’s blood. Some police theorised that due to the small amount of blood, it had been staged. However, there was an unidentified fingerprint in blood on the steering wheel of the vehicle.

An investigation uncovered that Mary’s credit card had been used twice in North Carolina the day after she disappeared. Both times, petrol had been purchased. The workers recollected seeing a woman who appeared to have blood on her head and legs. They recalled her being with two middle-aged men who appeared to be directing her what to do and what to say.

Investigators also discovered that Mary’s license plate was a North Carolina one that had been stolen as opposed to her Georgia one. Police believed that somebody abducted Mary and then moved her car back to the same parking spot afterwards.

Over the years there have been many theories as to what became of Mary. One of the more peculiar theories was that her disappearance was connected to lesbian sex scandal that was occurring at her place of her employment. It was also revealed that Mary had received alarming phone calls in the run up to her disappearance. These calls came to her work and her colleagues heard her telling the caller she was now a married woman that could no longer visit them.

Despite an exhaustive investigation, Mary Shotwell Little still remains missing today.
