Martha Christine Shafer, 39, disappeared from Harris County, Texas, on May 26, 1992. She was described as 4 feet 10 inches, about 95 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes and a distinctive mole on her forehead. Known as Cricket, she was last seen in the Houston area and her family lost contact with her after that day.

Martha had been married to Terry Lee Shafer for more than a decade when she vanished. Over the years suspicions centered on Terry. Seventeen years after her disappearance, while serving a prison sentence for an unrelated crime, he confessed to kidnapping and suffocating Martha and disposing of her body in the San Jacinto River near Baytown. Martha’s remains have never been recovered, leaving unanswered questions for her family despite the confession.

Did anyone in the Houston or Baytown area remember seeing Martha around May 1992 or have information about her last movements?
