Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17082) and 5 other sources
Kathleen Murphy, also known as Mary Kathleen Murphy, was last seen on March 7, 1976, in Fort Worth, Texas. At 20 years old, she was working at a bar that night and was closing up when she disappeared. Kathleen left behind her purse at the bar, suggesting she had no intention of leaving permanently. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a rabbit fur coat and Calvin Klein jeans. She had dark brown hair that had been bleached blonde and distinct physical features, including a butterfly tattoo on her abdomen and several scars, including a two-inch scar on her cheek and skin graft scars on her leg and armpit.

Authorities believe she may have been taken against her will, as she left her personal belongings behind and has not been heard from since. Despite numerous investigations and appeals for information, Kathleen's case remains unsolved, with her family and law enforcement continuing to seek answers nearly five decades later.
