Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP8368) and 6 other sources
Margaret Jane Chauncy, a 24-year-old woman, was last seen in Texarkana, Texas, on October 20, 1987. She disappeared after leaving her shift at St. Michael's Hospital. A coworker followed her home that night, where Margaret expressed concerns about being followed by a man in a black car. Her red 1983 Pontiac Fiero, with Arkansas license plate MXB670, has never been found. Foul play is suspected in her case, as she was involved in a relationship with a married man at the time, and his wife had previously vandalized her vehicle.

Margaret was wearing a blue and white striped blouse and a gold chain necklace with children's gold rings. Investigators discovered her nurse’s uniform was missing, suggesting she may have been preparing for work before vanishing. Despite extensive investigations, no significant leads have surfaced regarding her whereabouts or the location of her vehicle, and her case remains unsolved.

Authorities continue to urge anyone with information about Margaret's disappearance to come forward, as her case has been classified as endangered missing. The Texarkana Police Department and the FBI remain involved in the investigation.
