Lillie Maxey, an 81-year-old woman, was last seen on May 3, 1983, at Maggie's Nursing Center in Austin, Texas. Maxey, who suffered from dementia, had a history of wandering off, and it is believed that she left the facility at some point that day. She was reported missing around 5:00 p.m. and has not been heard from since.

At the time of her disappearance, Maxey was wearing a pink dress, bedroom slippers, a blue headscarf, and was carrying a gray purse. Standing at 5'5" and weighing 110 pounds, she was described as a Black woman with gray hair and brown eyes. Despite her vulnerability, search efforts have not provided any substantial leads over the years. Maxey had previously lived in Beaumont, Texas, before moving to the nursing home in Austin, where she went missing.

Her case remains unsolved, with few details available to shed light on her whereabouts. Authorities, including the Austin Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety, continue to list her case as an endangered missing person due to her medical condition and advanced age at the time she disappeared.
