Marilyn Alexander, a 39-year-old woman from Lincoln, Nebraska, disappeared on September 20, 2001. She was last seen at the gas station she managed in Hastings, Nebraska, when she mentioned to her brother-in-law that she needed to go home and run errands. Later, a witness reported seeing her watching a football game at a bar in Lincoln, though this sighting is disputed by her family, who believe she had been at the bar a week prior.
Marilyn's car, a Ford Escort, was discovered about a month later, abandoned and hidden by trees in a field near Red Cloud, Nebraska. Inside the car, investigators found beer cans and a money bag with uncashed checks, but no cash. Strangely, no personal items from her home were missing, and she left behind four children without any apparent plans for their care.
At the time of her disappearance, Marilyn faced personal difficulties, including a struggle with alcoholism and depression. A warrant for her arrest had been issued due to accusations that she had stolen money from her workplace. Although her family was aware of her past tendency to disappear for short periods, they do not believe she would have willingly left for an extended time or abandoned her children.
Over the years, suspicions arose about the involvement of her husband in her disappearance. However, he cooperated with the investigation and passed a polygraph test. Both he and Marilyn's father, a former police officer, are now deceased, further complicating the case. Despite the discovery of her car and some clues, Marilyn Alexander's case remains unsolved after more than two decades. Authorities continue to treat her disappearance as an endangered missing person case, and there has been no significant progress in uncovering her whereabouts.Last Seen: Sep 20, 2001
