Mary Jacqueline Levitz, 62, disappeared from her home in Vicksburg, Mississippi, on November 18, 1995. A widow of the co-founder of Levitz Furniture, she had moved to Vicksburg just weeks earlier to be closer to her family. On the day of her disappearance, Levitz was last seen purchasing wallpaper for her new home renovation project. Two days later, concerned relatives visited her house after failing to reach her by phone.
Upon entering, they found signs of a violent struggle: blood-stained mattresses, broken fingernails, and overturned furniture. Despite these alarming indications, valuable items like fur coats and diamond earrings were left untouched.
Investigators believe Levitz was likely the victim of foul play, possibly an abduction gone wrong. The prime theory is that her body may have been disposed of in the nearby Mississippi River. While suspicions have been raised about a connection to the notorious criminal duo Sante and Kenneth Kimes—due to similarities with other high-profile disappearances—the case remains unsolved. Levitz was declared legally dead in 2000, though her body has never been recovered, and no arrests have been made. Despite numerous rumors and speculations, including theories of her body being buried under a local construction site, the mystery of her disappearance endures after nearly three decades.Last Seen: Nov 18, 1995
