A girl I found without a NamUs, Charley Project or even a Doe Network. This case was heavily reported on too so I have no clue how it slipped through the cracks. Anyways, here is this poor girl:
Ann Elizabeth Caldwell
General Information
Missing Since: March 13, 1956
Missing From: Tucson, AZ (Police have definite information that she arrived in El Paso at 7 am in March - April 1956)
Sex: Female
Race: White (light complexion)
Age: 18
Date of Birth: February 4, 1938
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Blue (wears glasses)
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 135 pounds
Clothing: Slate grey blouse, brown wool skirt and a wide black belt with large gold belt buckle. Possibly wearing black flat shoes, a coral red coat, a California souvenir scarf and dark shell rim unswept glasses. Possibly had a black purse or a vanity case with her.
Timeline
March 13, 1956: Told her family she was going to sorority meeting and left her home in Tucson, Arizona
March 14, 1956: Seen walking down US. 70-80 with another girl. (I wonder who? This could be vital. Theory commented below)
March 14, 1956: Ann waves down truck driver on US. 70-80 and he takes Ann to a bus station in Las Cruces.
March 14, 1956: Seen getting out of truck in Las Cruces, NM.
March 14, 1956: Ann buys a bus ticket to Albuquerque, New Mexico or El Paso, Texas.
March 16, 1956: Arrived in El Paso, Texas at 7 am
March 7, 1957: Ann's mother pleads on TV show, Queen for a Day for her daughters return.
Thanksgiving 1959: The body of a girl is found in the Anapra, NM area.
19 January, 1960: Law Enforcement looks into the possibility of the body being Ann.
June 1960: The body is identified as 17 year old Yolanda Gomez. Ann remains missing.
That is the full timeline. Now for the theory on the "other girl".
Theory on the "other girl"
Is it by any means possible the girl travelling with Ann was Beverly Mastny? I might do some research to see if Beverly was also spotted on the highway that night. Beverly was spotted in El Paso, where we assume Ann stayed for a while. It's unlikely but it might be possible. I haven't found any other missing girls from the same general time with a connection to El Paso. If you find anything about this mystery girl please let me know!
That's all on the case so far! It is very confusing to compile all this info and provide sources for it so just let me know if a source slipped through the cracks.
Sources (I believe these are in chronological order.)
