Margaret had been attending IU and decided not to re-enroll after the fall of 1976 until she decided on a major. She was employed as a housekeeper working 3 days a week to help with her expenses while in college. All of Margaret’s personal items were left behind; clothes, luggage, toiletries, checkbook, cash and eye glasses. n address book was located in her apartment Officer Webb contacted every person in the book however no one had seen nor heard from Margaret.
Margaret’s family has described her as a quiet and studious person that was not the type that would get into a stranger’s car.
At the time (1976-1977) Margaret was the 4th of 5 unsolved disappearances over a couple of years in the Bloomington area. In a 1990 interview with police officer Barbara Webb since deceased LE had no leads, no vehicle descriptions, no suspects it was as if Margaret vanished into thin air.
In 2013 there was a possible break in the case and the dental records of Margaret were sent to Florida investigators for comparison with a UID, however it was confirmed not to be Margaret.
