Marcie Tokeysha Peterson, a 28-year-old mother of five, disappeared on October 30, 2003, from Marietta, Georgia. She was last seen at approximately 11:00 a.m. in the vicinity of the 2400 block of Cumberland Parkway. At the time, she was residing at a StudioPLUS extended-stay motel in the area. Marcie was reportedly attempting to reconcile with her estranged husband, with whom she was living at the motel. Before her disappearance, she had faced some personal setbacks, including serving a brief jail sentence for misdemeanor charges, which resulted in the loss of her mortgage business. Despite these challenges, her sister recalled that Marcie had plans to rebuild her life and did not seem overly stressed.
The circumstances surrounding Marcie's disappearance are troubling, and foul play is suspected. Before she went missing, she confided in her mother that she had borrowed $30,000 from a man who had subsequently chased her with a car and threatened her life. Adding to the complexity of the case, another man who had assisted her with educational expenses was later discovered to have been using an alias. It remains unclear if either of these individuals were involved in her disappearance. On the day she was last seen, a housekeeper at the motel reported that Marcie gave her the room key with instructions to give it to her husband.
Marcie is described as a Black female with black hair and brown eyes, standing at 5'8' and weighing around 140 pounds. She has several distinctive tattoos, including a Chinese symbol on the back of her neck, another Chinese symbol on her mid to lower back, and the name 'Carl' on her upper left breast. At the time of her disappearance, she may have been wearing a silver necklace, silver stud earrings, and silver sunglasses. There have been suggestions that she may have traveled to the New York area after she went missing, but this has not been confirmed. The Cobb County Police Department is the investigating agency for her case. Marcie's case remains unsolved, leaving her family, including her five children, without answers for over two decades.
