Mary Elizabeth Jarrett was 35 when she was last seen in Apache Junction, Arizona, on February 26, 1994. She lived near Ironwood Drive and Apache Trail with her teenage son and her ex-husband, with whom she remained for financial reasons. Family describe her as reclusive, prone to panic attacks, without a driver’s license and rarely going out alone.

In the weeks before her disappearance Mary reportedly began frequenting local bars, a marked change from her usual habits of staying home, enjoying Mexican food, making green chili burros, and caring for her pet cardinal, Fern. Her brother later reported her missing and the Apache Junction Police Department has investigated leads over the years; the circumstances are considered suspicious and foul play has not been ruled out. Her sister believes Mary is no longer alive but seeks answers and a proper burial.

If anyone knew Mary, saw her around late February 1994, or has information that could help resolve this open case, please come forward.
