Marion Henrietta Bowers, age 83, disappeared in Tucson, Arizona during the winter of 1984 after a trip to the Park Mall. Her son says he drove her from San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico, to the Sears at Park Mall on East Broadway Boulevard on December 12 and dropped her at the store entrance; when he entered moments later he reported she was gone and spent about six hours searching the store and mall before notifying police.

Tucson Police conducted an extensive search and showed Marion’s photos to shoppers and employees, but no one reported seeing her that day. Marion was described as a white female, brown hair and eyes, 5 feet 2 inches, about 130 pounds, wearing a white sweater, white blouse, dark blue pants and black shoes, carrying a black purse and wearing several rings. She was hearing-impaired, expected to wear two Beltone hearing aids but may have had only one, had full dentures and required medication for high blood pressure.

Friends in Mexico say she had no known plans to travel to Tucson, and friends in Tucson were not expecting her or her son, a detail that added confusion to the timeline. No trace of Marion has been found and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone saw Marion at the Park Mall on December 12, 1984, or has any information about her movements that day, please share what is known.
