Mary Elizabeth Loper, 27, vanished from her Lucedale, Mississippi, home on the night of May 29, 2002. She was last seen about 10:00 p.m. at the residence on Clarence Bonnett Road; the following morning her husband, Jonathan Carl Loper, said their six-year-old woke him at 4:00 a.m. and Mary was gone.

Earlier that day Mary called her mother from a hospital after receiving stitches for a wound above her eye she said came from an argument with her husband. She told her sister she feared for her safety but returned home to care for her children. Investigators later found some blood in the house and marijuana plants, and Carl Loper was arrested on drug possession charges; he had already been out on bond for prior drug and assault charges and has been uncooperative with detectives. No concrete evidence of foul play has been reported and Mary’s whereabouts remain unknown. Her three children are now in their grandparents’ care.

Does anyone have information about Mary’s last night at the Clarence Bonnett Road residence or about sightings in Lucedale around May 29–30, 2002?
