Walcie Rae Downing, a 32-year-old Native American woman sometimes known by her middle name Rae, was last seen on December 14, 1956, in Gallup, New Mexico. She was driving a cream-colored 1952 or 1954 Ford that has never been located. At the time she was wearing a white blouse, blue jeans, and an engagement ring and was caring for five children while going through a difficult period including a broken relationship.

Some reports suggest she may have contacted her children around 1959, but that has not been confirmed and her family does not believe she would have abandoned her children. Relatives have long suspected foul play, with some pointing to the area near Grants and the nearby malpais lava fields as a possible location of harm, but no significant evidence has surfaced. Investigations over the decades, including DNA comparisons, have produced no definitive leads and the case remains open.

Does anyone who lived in McKinley or Cibola counties in the late 1950s remember a cream-colored Ford like the one Walcie was driving or have any information about her movements after December 14, 1956?
