Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP7259) and 10 other sources
Betty Marie Roberts, a 29-year-old woman from Charlotte, North Carolina, was last seen on November 6, 1959, in Baltimore, Maryland. She had met a man who identified himself as Charles Wegman, claiming to be a traveling photographer. The two had crossed paths earlier that year when Betty and her sister responded to a job advertisement for photographer assistants. Despite her sister's objections, Betty decided to leave Charlotte with Wegman, leaving her two young daughters behind. Shortly after her departure, Betty sent a letter to her sister, postmarked from Baltimore, stating she was doing well and would write again. However, her family never heard from her again.

Betty's disappearance has remained a mystery for decades. Investigations revealed that Wegman was actually using an alias, with his real name believed to be Charles Dennison. Despite this discovery, little else is known about his background or whereabouts. Betty's family, particularly her sister, conducted an extensive search, including reaching out to government agencies like Social Security and the FBI, but no records of Betty surfaced after her disappearance in 1959. The case remains unsolved, and law enforcement continues to list her as missing, with her daughters still seeking answers regarding her fate.
