Episode 36 - Mary Day: A Missing Girl, A Family Secret, A Reappearance

In 1981, 13 year old Mary Day went missing from her home in Seaside, California. Her family never reported her missing and her siblings were told to never speak about Mary to anyone. 

In 1994, 12 years after the last time Mary had been seen alive, her disappearance was finally reported to the police. Nothing happened in this case until November 2003, when a routine traffic stop in Arizona uncovered something nobody had ever expected to find. 

This episode looks into the police interviews conducted with Mary’s parents and explores what happened when police made that shocking discovery in Phoenix, Arizona.
