Opal Beatrice Fulks, 22 and the mother of three, vanished from Monticello, Indiana, around March 4, 1931. The last clear record of her is the birth of her third daughter on that date; what happened to her after that is unknown. No contemporaneous missing persons report was filed, and a formal case was not opened until 2019, leaving decades without an official inquiry and making reconstruction of events difficult.

Some accounts say Opal and her husband, George Emery Fulks, separated in 1932; in 1939 he petitioned for divorce on grounds of abandonment and obtained custody of the children. That sequence produced an official narrative of abandonment, but the long delay in reporting and investigating Opal’s disappearance leaves significant gaps about her fate and movements after March 1931.

Anyone with family knowledge, local memory, or documents that could clarify Opal Fulks’s disappearance is asked to share what they know.
