Marie Deloris Giles, a 39-year-old woman from Tampa, was last seen on November 15, 1971. Neighbors reported seeing her that morning around 11:00 a.m. in a car driven by her boyfriend; witnesses said Marie appeared slumped over in the vehicle. She was never seen again after that sighting.

Marie’s car was later found abandoned behind the Western Auto Store at the Northgate Shopping Center, but there was no sign of her. She was described as an African American woman, 5 feet 0 inches to 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 120–130 pounds. The Tampa Police Department keeps the case open and it remains unsolved more than five decades later.

Anyone who knew Marie, was in that area on November 15, 1971, or has information about her movements that day is encouraged to contact investigators.
