Hey everyone, I've been digging more into Mary Alice Richard's case and came across something intriguing. I was reading an old newspaper article from 1983, and it mentioned that the weather in San Antonio on July 23 was unusually bad, with heavy rain causing road closures and some minor flooding. It makes me wonder if the weather played any role in her disappearance. Could she have taken an unfamiliar route to avoid the flooded areas and somehow that led to her and her car vanishing without a trace? It's baffling that both Mary and her car vanished so completely. Has anyone else come across details about the weather that day? Could there be any chance her car might still be somewhere it wasn’t supposed to be because of the conditions? I know it's a long shot, but every detail counts in a cold case like this. Thoughts?
I've been following Mary Alice Richard's case for a while now, and something that always struck me is how her car, the 1973 Mercury Cougar, also vanished without a trace. Cars from that era were pretty distinctive and less frequent on the roads, especially one with a unique color combo like blue and white. It's hard to imagine that no one spotted that vehicle somewhere along the way, even in a city as big as San Antonio. It makes me wonder if it could be out there still and just buried under layers of dust or hidden away in a garage. Any chance someone out there restores classic cars and might have come across it? One lead could turn everything around. ?️‍♂️
Has anyone looked into the possibility that Mary Alice Richard's car might have ended up in a hidden or overgrown area? I've seen a few older cases where vehicles were discovered years later because they were veiled by vegetation or submerged in water. Given the length of time since her disappearance and the lack of developments, it might be worth re-examining the areas around San Antonio that were less developed or frequently traversed back in 1983. Maybe advancements in technology, like drones or improved satellite imagery, could give investigators a fresh perspective on this. It just seems like retracing steps from a different angle might uncover something new. Any thoughts?
