Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP37967) and 10 other sources
Elizabeth Mary Campbell was 54 years old when she disappeared from Glen Burnie, Maryland, in March 2017. Public case information describes her as a white woman with brown hair and brown eyes, about 4 feet 11 inches to 5 feet tall, and weighing roughly 125 to 140 pounds; she was also known by the nicknames Liz and Betsy. Her NamUs case is listed as MP37967, and the case remains published with no resolution status indicating that she has been found alive or deceased.

The last clear contact with Elizabeth came in the middle of March 2017. Family information reported through NamUs and repeated by Uncovered says relatives last spoke with her on March 15, and that her final known phone and Facebook activity occurred on March 16. Elizabeth lived alone and was described by family as private. What made the silence especially troubling was that no one heard from her afterward, and she left her phone behind while apparently taking only her dog.

Her daughter, Chrystal, later described a painful break in their normal routine. According to WMAR, Chrystal lived in California and usually spoke with her mother during her commute, but their last conversation was shorter than usual because Chrystal was in a rush. When she tried to call again the next day, Elizabeth did not answer, and repeated calls still went unanswered. Chrystal initially wondered whether her mother might simply be upset, but after several days with no response, her worry deepened into fear that something was wrong.

Elizabeth was remembered by her daughter as adventurous and as someone who loved animals, children, and helping elderly people. WMAR reported that she had cared for an older man who later left her the Glen Burnie house where she lived. When concern grew, relatives contacted police and asked for a wellness check. Officers went inside the home and found Elizabeth’s cellphone; later, according to Chrystal’s account, her wallet was also found, strengthening the family’s belief that she had not simply gone away voluntarily for a few days.

Another important development came soon after Elizabeth was reported missing. The Anne Arundel County Police Department states that her nephew reported her missing on March 25, 2017, and that on March 29, a family member crashed her vehicle on Route 97 in Millersville. Police said that family member told investigators Elizabeth had left town with an unknown new boyfriend and gone to an unknown location; however, authorities also state that there has been no further information about her whereabouts, and that detectives believe “critical factors” are involved in her disappearance.

WMAR reported that the vehicle involved was a green Chevy Trailblazer with Virginia plates, and that police said Elizabeth’s nephew was driving it at the time of the crash. He reportedly claimed he had made a deal with Elizabeth to buy the vehicle, but investigators could not confirm that with Elizabeth absent. Police checked records, including bank and cellphone activity, but according to the report, everything stopped in mid-March, leaving investigators without a confirmed trail forward.

The case has continued as a search for answers rather than a story with a known ending. Public listings identify the Anne Arundel County Police Department as the investigating agency, and the county’s missing-persons page continues to ask anyone with information to contact the Missing Persons Unit. In overview, Elizabeth Campbell’s disappearance began with a sudden silence after routine contact with family, grew more alarming when her phone and wallet were found left behind, became more complicated when her vehicle was later involved in a crash while driven by a family member, and remains unresolved because no verified information has publicly established where she went or what happened to her.
