Marilyn Ann Neely, 33, was last seen in the late afternoon of September 18, 1983, driving her 1975 Dodge Dart southbound on Goodfellow Road in Peterborough County, Ontario. At disappearance she was 5 feet 7 inches, about 131 pounds, with short red hair and green eyes. She was reportedly wearing a red ski jacket, a white sweater, blue jeans or cream-colored pants, beige cowboy boots, and carrying a green vinyl purse with a white shoulder strap.

Her family reported her missing the morning after she was last seen. On September 23, 1983, her Dodge Dart was found abandoned on the Five Point Trail access road, about 11 kilometres west of Highway 507; hunters who discovered the car moved it before notifying police. That day a woman matching Marilyn’s description was seen walking west from where the car was found. Other unconfirmed sightings included a woman who turned her face toward the woods as a couple passed, and a report of a disoriented woman seen days earlier who got into a blue car.

Police say there is insufficient evidence to classify the disappearance as a homicide; the case remains an open missing person investigation and the Peterborough Police Service asks anyone with information to come forward. Did anyone in the area around Goodfellow Road or Otter Lake in September 1983 see Marilyn or her Dodge Dart?
