Mary Till, a 27-year-old woman from Dallas, Texas, tragically died on August 18, 1983. She left her Arlington apartment early in the morning to head to her workplace in downtown Dallas but never arrived. Her car was later found burned 10 miles away from her office. After months of uncertainty, Mary's skeletonized remains were discovered in a field outside a heavily-wooded area in early January 1984.
She had been shot in the head.
The case quickly gained attention from a task force investigating the disappearances and murders of several young women in the Fort Worth area during the mid-1980s. The task force considered the possibility that these murders were connected and potentially the work of a single serial killer. Despite extensive investigations, no arrests have been made, and the case remains unsolved.
Mary Till's case is one of several cold cases from that period, and it continues to be a focus of law enforcement and true crime enthusiasts who hope to bring justice and closure to her family. If anyone has information about her murder, they are encouraged to contact the Dallas Police Cold Case Squad or the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit.
The tragic death of Mary Till is a stark reminder of the importance of solving cold cases and providing answers to grieving families. Her story, along with others from that time, highlights the need for continued efforts to uncover the truth and hold perpetrators accountable.
