Mary Ann Knightly was 28 when she was last seen at about 11:30 p.m. on February 18, 1998, at her home in the 1500 block of Du Pont Highway in Bear, Delaware. Described as a white woman with brown hair and blue eyes, about 5 feet 9 inches and 130 pounds, she had a scar over her right eye and an abdominal scar. She was reportedly wearing black tights and a brown leather jacket with a fur collar.

Her husband, Roy, said she packed a bag that evening and told him she needed to get away for a while and planned to visit her sister in Florida. He reported falling asleep and waking around 1:30 a.m. to find her gone. Mary Ann never arrived in Florida; she had borrowed a van from her mother that night and the van was later returned by Roy, who reportedly said Mary Ann had asked him to return it for her. It is unclear how she would have traveled to Florida or how much money she had.

Her disappearance was reported on February 26, 1998. Mary Ann’s whereabouts remain unknown.

Did anyone in Bear or along possible travel routes see Mary Ann or the van on the night of February 18, 1998?
