Marcia Fischer was 35 when she was reported missing from Madison, Wisconsin, on January 1, 1982. She was last seen on New Year’s Day, and her sudden disappearance alarmed family and friends who described her as having a vibrant personality and close community ties.

Local law enforcement conducted searches of surrounding areas and interviewed people who might have seen or spoken to Marcia in the days after she vanished, but investigators were unable to develop significant leads and the case went cold. Marcia’s family has continued to press for information over the years, using social media and community events to keep attention on her disappearance.

If anyone saw Marcia around January 1, 1982, or has information that could help her family, please come forward.
