Charlotte Marcella Moriarty, 31, and her five-month-old son Marx vanished from Hauula, Hawaii, on June 21, 1977. Charlotte left home that morning to walk the baby in a stroller; hours later the stroller was found abandoned at a bus stop on Kamehameha Highway and neither mother nor child were located. Marx’s father, Mark Barnes, reported them missing on July 10, noting Charlotte had sometimes left before, but her family said she would never have gone without notifying them while her older daughter was expected to visit.

The day after the disappearance a woman matching Charlotte’s description arrived uninvited at a stranger’s house with an infant, giving the names Jane Amae and Tenzin Amae. She was taken to the Hawaii State Hospital for psychiatric evaluation and the baby placed in protective custody. On June 29, 1977, the woman believed to be Charlotte left the hospital against medical advice and disappeared again. The infant later was adopted and, in 2011, a man named Steve Carter identified himself through DNA as the missing baby Marx Moriarty.

Charlotte’s whereabouts after leaving the hospital remain unknown. Does anyone have information about Charlotte’s movements in Hauula or contacts she may have had in late June 1977?
