Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP50533) and 4 other sources
Mary Mabel Hudgins, 23, was last seen on October 20, 1954, in Santa Cruz, California. That evening, she and her husband, George Hudgins, had an argument at their home on Frederick Street. George left the house for a brief period, and when he returned, Mary was gone. Their two children were left alone in the house, and Mary has not been seen or heard from since.

According to George, Mary left behind a note stating, "You can go on alone" and took $100 with her. At the time of her disappearance, Mary was seven months pregnant, and George claimed she had been struggling with her mental health. There were concerns she might have traveled to Canada, where her parents were living, though no evidence has been found to support this. Despite various search efforts, no trace of Mary has ever been found, and her case remains unsolved. Investigators suspect foul play may be involved.
Last Seen: Oct 20, 1954
