Marguerite Peggy Mayden, 60, was last seen April 30, 1980, leaving a neighbor’s gathering near her home on Hickory Hills Circle in Biloxi, Mississippi. She said she was going home to prepare a meal but never returned. The following day her house was found ransacked with signs of a violent struggle; bloodstains appeared to have been partially cleaned and both her dog and vehicle were missing.

Several days later the dog was recovered about 15 miles from the residence, but Mayden remained missing. Her car turned up at a Holiday Inn on Highway 90; witnesses reported a man had parked it there and blood was later found in the trunk. Investigators suspect her body may have been transported in the vehicle and believe she was likely the victim of a homicide, but no one has been charged and the case remains unsolved.

Mayden was the widow of an Air Force colonel, an avid golfer and well known in the community. Does anyone have information about her movements on April 30, 1980, or recall seeing her car or dog in the days afterward?
