Marion Alice Morton is listed in NamUs as missing person MP5405, a White/Caucasian female who was 53 years old when she was reported missing from Georgetown, Delaware. NamUs records her date of last contact as December 30, 1937, while other online summaries note that the exact timing is unclear because the available account places her alive on a winter evening at 114 W. Market Street in Georgetown in either 1938, 1939, or 1940.
This uncertainty is important to the case: the official record preserves a specific last-contact date, but the known narrative is sparse and indicates that the information passed down or documented later may be vague.
The central circumstance publicly associated with Marion’s disappearance is that she was seen and known to be alive by her granddaughter at 114 W. Market Street in Georgetown, Delaware. Beyond that statement, public case summaries provide very little about what happened afterward, where Marion may have gone, whether she left voluntarily, or whether anyone saw her again. The lack of detail leaves a painful gap for her family and for investigators, especially because the case dates back many decades and may depend heavily on family memory, historical records, and any surviving documentation.
Marion’s physical description is limited in the public record. NamUs and related case summaries list her as female and White/Caucasian, with her height reported around 5 feet 3 inches and her weight around 95 pounds in the API-derived case data; some secondary summaries list slightly different ranges, reflecting the uncertainty often seen in older missing-person records. Her hair and eye color are listed as unknown in the available public case information, and there are no publicly detailed distinctive physical features, clothing, accessories, or transportation information tied to the disappearance.
The case is associated with the Georgetown Police Department and NamUs case number MP5405. The NamUs listing identifies the case as a missing-person record, and public case pages continue to present Marion as missing rather than as a person who has been found. The provided API data does not list the case resolution status as Alive or Deceased, so no resolution is stated here.
Because Marion disappeared so long ago, the case represents more than a historical entry in a database. It reflects a woman whose life, family connections, and final known movements remain incompletely documented. The surviving public information is brief, but it still matters: Marion was a person last known to be alive in Georgetown, and the absence of answers has left her story unresolved for generations.Last Seen: Dec 30, 1937
