case report:
Bertha Beatrice McGary was born in Texas in 1913. In 1931 she married and her name became Bertha Beatrice Dyer. She gave birth to five children. In 1942, she divorced and reportedly moved to Arizona. There, she possibly remarried to a man with the last name Smith. In 1944, she wrote a letter to family saying she was returning to Texas and was never seen or heard from again.

I hope she is found soon.
 
Have found the names of the 5 children. Also, Bertha was born on the 13th of February 1913. Unfortunately Arizona public records are all "closed" so I can't find anything further.
 
A Beatrice McGary died in Texas in 1985, it might be the same one, I hope somebody checked.

I've had a quick look for another woman born with the name above and can't instantly see one. If I were LE I'd look at it because I'd have a long odds guess it's her.
 
[h=1]Disappeared in Arizona: What to know about the database for the missing[/h]
NCIC differs from publicly accessible sites like NAMUS, which has less-stringent reporting standards.
Anyone can create a missing-person case, but all cases generated by the public are vetted before they're added to the database.
Only medical examiners have the ability to create an unidentified-remains case in NAMUS.
NAMUS users can search missing persons cases and unidentified remains cases by state, city, race and age.
The oldest Arizona case dates to 1944, when Bertha Smith wrote a letter to family saying she was returning to Texas after remarrying near Phoenix. She was never seen or heard from again.
