Bumping for Mary Ann as we approach the 37th anniversary of her disappearance

 

[imstilla.grandma]

Mary Ann Etter was a 23 year old wife and mother of a young son on March 5th, 1983. Mary Ann was never seen after this day.

Mary Ann had been at the Skate-A-Thon skating rink, located in the 1900 block of Northwest 72nd Street in Lawton , Ok. She was celebrating her recent birthday. She has some friends pick her up between 11 pm and 12 am. The friends reported they dropped her off at her home in the 400 block or North Drive in Fletcher. Her friends reported when they pulled up to the home there was no lights on in the house. But as Mary Ann was walking towards the house the friends noticed a light in the house come on. This was strange since there was not suppose to be anyone in the house. Mary Ann’s husband was visiting his parents with their young son that night. This was the very last time Mary Ann was ever seen.

A few days after she was last seen, Mary Ann’s brother and sister went to the home. Along with Mary Ann not being there, there was nothing missing. Her siblings did notice blood on the back porch. It’s reported that her siblings cleaned this blood up at that time.

There were some clothes possibly connected with Mary Ann’s disappearance found in a dumpster in Fletcher. These were collected as evidence.

Her father reported her missing two weeks later. Authorities executed a search warrant on the Etter’s home May 1991. During the search of the home the investigators used Luminal, to detect blood. Investigators found a blood trail from the front door, down the hallway, into the living room with the trail ending at the back of the house. But no further evidence was ever found.

Mary Ann’s original missing persons report was lost. A new report was filed in 1990.

Mary Ann’s husband has since remarried and still lives in the residence he shared with Mary Ann in 1983.

Still lives in the house???

Perhaps that would be best for the child?

Does the second wife know about the blood found in the house after the first wife disappeared?

Does Mary Anne's child?

Does this indicate innocence, control of the crime scene, just creepiness, what?

There are a number of women in this age group missing from Lawton, some with ties to Fort Sill:

Details of Disappearance​

Etter was last seen between 11:00 p.m. and midnight on March 5, 1983. She had been to the Skate-A-Thon, a skating rink in the 1900 block of northwest 72nd Street in Lawton, Oklahoma, to celebrate her recent birthday. Two friends picked her up there and dropped her off at her house in the 400 block of North Drive Fletcher, Oklahoma.

According to Etter's friends, when they arrived at the residence no lights were on, but as Etter was talking towards the house a light came on inside. They saw her go inside the residence. Etter's husband was visiting his parents at the time and had taken their young son. By the time they returned home, Etter was no longer at the residence. She has never been heard from again.

A few days after Etter's disappearance, her brother and sister went to her house. Etter wasn't there and none of her belongings were missing, but her siblings found some blood on the back porch. They cleaned it up before notifying the authorities. Some clothing possibly connected to Etter was also found in a dumpster in Fletcher.

Authorities executed a search warrant on Etter's house in May 1991 and used the chemical Luminal, which can detect bloodstains. They found blood leading from the front door to the porch, through a hallway into the living room. The trail ended at the back of the house.

Etter's father reported her missing two weeks after she was last seen. The missing persons report was subsequently lost and a new one had to be filed in 1990. Her husband has since remarried and still lives in the residence he shared with Etter in 1983. Her case remains unsolved.
