AZ AZ- Ann Caldwell, 18, Tucson, Pima County, March 13, 1956

Would she be on the 1950 census for Arizona or Texas?

Try both. Try last name without first name and year of birth. Sometimes, women went by their middle name.

There’s lots of people named Ann Caldwell. Any proof this is the person who went missing in 1956?

Here’s another Ann Caldwell I’m pretty sure isn’t our girl:

Of course it could be a different person but the location fits and her "partnership

In response to Cenazoic #166: Which police department has her as missing. Here is a list of towns mentioned.
l. Tucson, Arizona 2. El Paso, Texas 3. Las Cruces, New Mexico 4. Albuqueruque and Alamagordo New Mexico 5. Amarillo, Texas 6. Plainview, Texas 7. Colorado (a possible sighting a police report generated?) 8. Dallas, Texas (an uncle in area, a possible Jane Doe there?) What about her mother's side of the family any relatives in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado? Immediate family might not have mentioned Ann, but what about distant relatives? IMO- Ann could have been distant from Her father's side of the family but what about her mother side? Beside an Aunt.

The law enforcement agency which would likely have jurisdiction in this missing person case would be the one first contacted by her family.

Localities where she was reported as possibly seen or thought to be would have been notified and questioned, but they would not have taken over the investigation unless a compelling reason existed - for instance evidence of a criminal act of kidnapping, assault, or murder.

A state Investigative agency might assist, but not necessarily assume full jurisdiction in a missing person case. Each state has its own laws and practices in that regard.

5'11" was exceptionally tall for a woman in 1957. With her good looks height and blonde hair Ann must have been a stunning and distinctive difficult lady.
Surely someone would have noticed her?

So, this would be Tucson PD, (and/or possibly Pima County Sheriff) but the reason this thread exists is that Ann appears to be one of the ‘missing missing’; that is, reported in the papers fairly extensively at the time, but she’s not in
Namus or any other online database.

Because she was 18 at the time she went missing and left voluntarily, I’m not sure how seriously her disappearance was taken by any LE. That said, it wouldn’t hurt to contact all of the jurisdictions in which a named LE official spoke to the press (which are those mentioned by @strangerthanfiction1200 Here.)

Since it’s been so long, I’m somewhat pessimistic about outcomes, but it’s something that should be done just to cross it off the list.

Someone (sorry, on mobile and can’t easily search their name atm) in the last year-ish in this thread DID contact Plainview TX, who didn’t have any records, but if I recall correctly, suggested they contact the Texas Rangers.

Have a great holiday, everyone, and Ann too, if she’s out there.
