Mary Ellen Marcum, 45, was last seen on August 22, 2005, in Hawaiian Gardens, California. She disappeared under suspicious circumstances and foul play is suspected. Marcum had physical disabilities, including a disabled right arm and hand from a prior gunshot wound, plus scarring on the back tendons of both legs.

Despite searches and ongoing inquiries, she has not been seen or heard from since that date. Investigators believe her disappearance may be connected to more troubling circumstances, but no solid leads have emerged and the case remains open with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

If anyone knew Mary Ellen, saw her in Hawaiian Gardens around August 22, 2005, or has information that could help investigators or her family, please come forward.
