Mary A. Cox was 28 and a mother when she disappeared from East Cleveland, Ohio, in May 1989. She worked as a bartender at McCall’s Lounge on Euclid Avenue and was last definitively seen at or connected to that neighborhood bar. Descriptions list her as a Black woman, slender, five feet three to five feet five inches tall, 120 to 135 pounds, with an afro and brown eyes.

No missing-person report was filed until 2009, and a police chief later acknowledged the initial investigation was mishandled. Anthony Sowell, who knew Mary and was a patron at McCall’s, has been investigated in connection with her disappearance but never admitted involvement. Her son has provided a DNA sample for the probe.

Did anyone who frequented McCall’s Lounge in 1989 ever see Mary after May 1989 or know where she was headed that day?
