Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP94224) and 1 other source
Cecil Marie Jackson, 39, disappeared on August 16, 1986, in Dallas, Texas. On that day, she reportedly said she was going to church but never returned home. The details surrounding her disappearance remain sparse, with no information about whether she made it to church or met anyone along the way. Jackson was described as 5'0", 135 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, and her ears were pierced.

Despite her case being included in missing persons databases, there has been little progress in finding out what happened to her. Investigations have stalled over the years, and the case has received minimal public attention. Authorities suspect foul play may have been involved, but no definitive leads have surfaced. The Dallas Police Department continues to ask for any information that could help solve this cold case.
