Never heard of this one before...

I wonder if it's known whether Annie actually arrived at work that day and just never made it home, or else left in the morning and never got to Walgreens?

Did she walk there? Drive? Take the bus? etc.

Hard to tell. Very little information. Charley Project doesn't even have a page for her.
 
A snapshot of Annie Bell life.
Can’t find a marriage certificate atm
She had three boys and three girls from 17 years old.
Dod could be for a deceased estate settlement possibly?

Exactly. Maybe she had no intention on going to work. Would have been an easy thing to find out. Unfortunate that it wasn't in the missing persons report such a simple detail. And was any of her belongings missing?

Who reported her missing originally? She did have a lot of family.
Who submitted her as a MP to current missing persons databases?
She is still considered missing today according to these databases, so who reported her death 45 years ago?
Was she still married? Were there any reports of abuse where she would want to flee and start a new life in Tennessee?
Did her family finally find her and just never confirmed it with LE that she was no longer missing?
Did she not want to be found (by the husband for example) and her family respected it and never reported it? Surely her children would have been looking for her and would have still been alive in 1975 when she died.
Very interesting how little info there is.

Also can't help but notice the discrepancy in the year she went missing, (1952 or 1953?) unless it's just a mistake.
 
When her husband John died in 1981 in Tampa, he was a 28-year resident of the area. That means he moved around 1953.

Also, since I've seen some discussion about her teeth, the image going around in other threads is an AI-generated best guess based on an extremely blurry photo. It is not an actual photo or a representation of what her teeth actually looked like and should not be used for comparisons with unidentified Does.

Sorry for the double post I have No idea how that happened?!
 
Post #7 above notes a reported death date of December 1975 which also appears on various trees on Ancestry. Rather than relating to the missing I suspect this may be a case of identity confusion. Also on Ancestry there is a death record for Ann Estella Hannah from Nashville, Tennessee who is shown as dying in 1975 and buried 3 January 1976. This fits with the dates on the US Social Security Death Claim record cited as the source for the 1975 death date on the Ancestry trees. This Hannah is a married name and was born Ann Well. The only problem with this theory is that the US Social Security Death Claim cited for the missing also contains the birth date of 19 Jan 1925. So we are faced with three options. Either we have two people with similar names dying in the right location at the same time or this is a case of the missing changing identity and background or somehow the wrong birthdate was ascribed to an unrelated death. I have no idea which is correct.
