Mary Till, 27, disappeared after leaving her Arlington apartment for work in downtown Dallas on August 18, 1983. She never arrived at her job; her vehicle was later found burned about 10 miles from her office.

In early January 1984, skeletal remains identified as Mary’s were found in a field outside a heavily wooded area. Authorities determined she had been shot in the head. A task force formed to investigate a string of disappearances and murders of young women in the Fort Worth area during the mid-1980s looked at Mary’s death as possibly connected to the others and potentially the work of a single killer.

No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. If anyone has information about Mary Till’s murder, please contact the Dallas Police Cold Case Squad or the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit.
