Marialice Clark was 14 when she disappeared from Omaha, Nebraska, in 1972. She had a birthmark on her right hip and a scar or birthmark on the back left side of her head. NamUs lists her last contact as August 1, 1972, while the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children lists September 27, 1972, reflecting a gap between when she was reportedly last seen and when her family formally reported her missing.
Marialice was last seen near the Bali-Hi Lounge, where witnesses said she got into a car with Chicago-area license plates and was not heard from again. Her mother first thought she had run away and reported her missing on September 27, 1972, after she failed to return. Years earlier, a federal affidavit reportedly named Marialice, at about age 12, as an alleged informant connected to information about weapons and explosives tied to an Omaha group linked to the National Committee to Combat Fascism; relatives have questioned whether a child could have known those details and whether being named put her at risk.
Her mother died without learning what happened. The case remains listed with the Omaha Police Department and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, which seek information about the Bali-Hi sighting, the Chicago-plate car, and the people around Marialice in 1972. If anyone knew Marialice, the Bali-Hi Lounge, or the vehicle seen that day, can you help with details?
