Mary Mabel Hudgins was 23 and seven months pregnant when she vanished from her Santa Cruz home on October 20, 1954. That evening she and her husband, George Hudgins, argued; George left briefly and returned to find Mary gone and their two children alone in the house. George said Mary left a note reading You can go on alone and took $100 with her. He also reported she had been struggling with her mental health.

Investigators looked into the possibility she traveled to Canada to be with her parents, but no evidence of that has been found. Despite searches, no trace of Mary has ever been located, and foul play is suspected. Very little else is publicly known about her movements that night.

If anyone knew Mary Hudgins, her family, or has information about her whereabouts in October 1954, please share what you know.
