In March of 1993, a 54-year-old woman named Edith Eudora Gregg was taken by a friend to the Greyhound bus station located at 5th Street and Washington Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona. It was March 10th, and Edith was setting off on a trip, though her friend was unaware of her final destination. It was known that Edith had friends in the state of Washington, and it is possible this was where she was headed. She was carrying a dark blue nylon travel bag and a black shoulder strap purse, and she used a cane to help her walk. Edith was wearing dark-colored sweatpants, a long-sleeved light-colored blouse, and white canvas tennis shoes. She also wore brown, plastic-framed eyeglasses.
The hours and days that followed her arrival at the bus station are shrouded in uncertainty. No one knows for sure if Edith ever purchased a ticket or if she boarded a bus to any destination. From that day forward, no one has reported hearing from her.
The vibrant city of Phoenix was the last place she was seen, and the bustling bus station was the last known point of her journey. Her case was officially reported to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office on May 28, 1993, and she has been considered a missing person ever since. At the time of her disappearance, Edith had very short brown hair and hazel eyes.
The investigation into Edith Gregg's disappearance has remained open for decades, yet very few details have emerged to shed light on what might have happened to her. The lack of information about whether she ever left the bus station makes it difficult for investigators to narrow down the geographic area of their search. The case is a quiet and somber mystery, a story of a woman who, for all intents and purposes, vanished after being dropped off for a trip. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office continues to hold the case file, number 93-010472, hoping that one day new information will come to light and provide answers to the questions that have lingered for so long.Last Seen: Mar 10, 1993
