Margie Ann Ranshaw was 29 when she vanished from her parents’ home in Barryton, Michigan. The last confirmed sighting was May 17, 1987, when she left to buy a gallon of milk and drove away. Margie was a mother to a two-month-old daughter and had been living with her parents at the time.

Margie lived with schizophrenia and sometimes heard voices. She had blonde hair, brown eyes and a small scar near her eyebrow. Weeks after she disappeared, her car was located abandoned at a hotel off Interstate 96 in Howell, Michigan, roughly two hours from Barryton, but the vehicle offered no answers. She had left home before for extended periods and sometimes hitchhiked, yet previously always returned; investigators suspected foul play in this case. The Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office remains the contact for tips.

If anyone knew Margie, remembers her car, or has information that could help her family, please come forward.
