Mary Louise Day Vanished in 1981. What Happened When She Returned Was Unbelievable

Mary Louise Day disappeared at 13 in 1981. By the time detectives investigated her disappearance more than twenty years later, they suspected she had never left her family’s home alive. Then a traffic stop in Phoenix brought them face to face with a woman who said she was Mary. She had identification in the right name, and DNA testing supported her connection to the family. Some investigators and relatives still had doubts.

Mary said she had lived under the name Monica Devereaux because she feared being returned to her childhood home. When acting police chief Judy Veloz interviewed her in 2017, Mary named a woman who had taken her in as a teenager. Veloz tracked down Morie Kimmel, who remembered Mary living with her family.

One of Kimmel’s relatives still had a photograph showing Mary after her disappearance. Alongside DNA evidence connecting her to both biological parents, it helped Veloz close the investigation. Mary died nine days after her final interview with Veloz, having spent years trying to convince investigators that she was the girl they had been searching for.
