Marilyn Denice Waltz, 25, was last seen by family on January 7, 1978, in Bakersfield, California and disappeared that same day. She also used the surname Bigger. At the time she was reported missing she was wearing a faded maroon sweatshirt, Levi’s jeans, eyeglasses with gold frames, and a wedding ring.

Marilyn had red hair, green eyes and a cesarean section scar on her abdomen. Very few details have surfaced since 1978, and there have been no major public leads. The Kern County Sheriff’s Office still lists her as missing and her family continues to seek answers.
