The Mysterious Disappearance of Mary Morris

Mary Morris went missing on October 12, 2000, after beginning her day seemingly normally. After failing to arrive at work and unable to be reached by phone, her husband, Jay Morris, reported her missing to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. This report was taken seriously due to the involvement of a neighbor who was also a detective. The couple's daughter, Marilyn, sensed something terrible had happened, considering her mother's consistent reliability and deciding to join her father in retracing Mary’s route to work.
