You sure you have your information right? The only Rita Mae Hughes I see as missing, went missing December 6, 1986, and at the time had been living in Magnolia, TX, Montgomery County, not Magnolia Springs, TX.

She is listed at the doenetwork.org.

dede,

I have advised CarlK of this thread.

In the meantime, try this link. This is perhaps the person he was thinking of.

No, that's not the same case. It's this one:

KS KS - Lincolnville - White Female (NamUs #2422), 16-99, Sept 1987

DoeNetwork removed the case thinking that it was the case that had been matched to Lynda Jane Hart. In fact, Lynda had been matched to a different case:

Match! MO - Kansas City (NamUs #8521) to Lynda Jane Hart

AFAIK, DoeNet has still not reinstated casefile for the Lincolnville Jane Doe.

Bumping up with Rita's pictures:

Hughes was last seen at the Trailways Bus Station in Houston Texas on December 8, 1996. Her husband dropped her off at the depot so she could catch a bus to see relatives in Louisiana. Her husband indicated that she was irrational, crying, and confused when he last saw her. She never arrived Louisiana and had never been seen or heard from again.
Her mother reported her as a missing person on December 19, 1986. Rita Hughes has not attempted to contact any family members since her disappearance. Her last known address was in Magnolia, Texas.
Foul play is suspected.

I'm wondering if this could be her:
551UFCA

Height and weight are close and both were wearing large framed glasses. Rita was last seen at a bus station, so she could've traveled anywhere.

Just dropping a post in here to stay updated on the case.

UncoolNegated · Dec 24, 2021

I've been working on cases lately where bus stations are part of the case somehow. I have to say, I am noticing a pattern in several cases where the husband claims he dropped a wife off at a bus station, yet there's no proof of that.

spartanx · Apr 4, 2024

I think that in this case again the husband knows more than he tells... I always think that if they do not want to arouse suspicion they should cooperate with the police, stay alert, call the relatives, etc... but I feel that they want to feel, there is no adrenaline from knowing Yes it could be considered suspicious... in this case it seems that he wanted to make it disappear because it is very easy for no one to see you and say I left it in this or that part and then it disappeared... never to hear from it again... It could be that she had an affair with another woman or she was actually kidnapped never to be found again...
either way
rest in peace
