Anna Marie Molina disappeared after a night of partying 18 years ago.

Molina was 34 when she disappeared. She was described as 5 feet tall and 120 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

The status of her case is closed. It is classified as an unsolved missing persons case. Tuscon LE does have suspects and do believe she met with foul play.

A quick search didn't lead me to find anything either.

Just as an FYI. When we find these older MP cases that aren't in the usual NamUs, DoeNetwork or Charley Project database's, I always make sure to let CarlK know so he can add them to his database trying to compare MP's to UID's.

We should be able to get her information entered into NamUs also, since civilian volunteers like ourselves can enter information. I'll see if I can get her info into NamUs but I won't have time to do so until after the holidays. If anyone else wants to in the mean time please do so.

She looks like DoeNet Jane Doe 686UFNM, especially when you consider that the unidentified skull was missing a mandible (and therefore, the depiction of chin and jawline is just a guess).

However, the distance and direction from Tucson, AZ to Jemez Pueblo NM may a little too far, and in the wrong direction. The purse was found the next day 10 miles west of Tucson. 686UFNM was found about 500 miles Northeast of Tucson.

I wish there was more information about Anna. If she had scars, tats, watch, ring(s), etc. And who the people were that were talked to by police - the two men referred to in the article in post 1 (I think the link below is the same article) and when the two men were talked to.

2011 article:

Molina, who was wearing a floral-print dress, got a ride home from two men at about 12:30 a.m. Aug. 10, and the trio partied into the morning...

Later that day, a woman in Three Points called police to report she had found Molina's purse, which still contained a small amount of cash, on the roadside near West Ajo Way and South Comanche Road about 15 miles west of downtown Tucson....

The case was last reviewed in 2008. Even though Tucson Police Department investigators have suspects in Molina's disappearance, her case is closed. It is classified as an "unsolved missing-person case," said Sgt. Matt Ronstadt, a police spokesman. He could not release information about the suspects or what led investigators to suspect foul play.

However, the distance and direction from Tucson, AZ to Jemez Pueblo NM may a little too far, and in the wrong direction. The purse was found the next day 10 miles west of Tucson. 686UFNM was found about 500 miles Northeast of Tucson.

Was this ever ruled out?

Good question. Jemez is about a 9 hour drive from Tucson so not unreasonable. When you click on the Doe Network link it says identified but no further information.

 

[AZ Native Cat]

Bump. Any new information or ideas on this? Its been a while now. Is TPD willing to share any additional information? I wonder what time she called her work. Did that what did she say? That she was sick or something else? Was she scheduled to work the day after? It might imply that she was planning on going somewhere that day or the next. Also, where her purse was found is on the road that leads through the Tohono O'Odham reservation which is pretty isolated except for Sells, the community there and if you keep going you hit Why, AZ and from there you can head south and cross the border into Mexico.

Bump! This case makes me angry.
Why is case closed despite obvious murder suspect in man who “went on a solo drive” with Molina and gave false information on whereabouts? Why was he not followed up on when purse found 23 miles west of where he stated they were driving? Nothing adding up.

Details of Disappearance​

Molina was last seen in Tucson, Arizona on August 10, 1993. On the night of August 9 - 10, she and two female friends went out for the evening. They separated at Sunny's Pub in the 5400 block of south 12th Avenue.

She got a ride with two men at 12:30 a.m. on August 10, and they stayed up all night. They went to Terry & Zeke's Bar in the 4300 block of east Speedway. When questioned later, one of Molina's companions said he'd dropped the other man off and went for a drive with Molina.

During this time she called the fast food restaurant she worked at and said she would not be coming in that day. Molina's companion said he last saw her when he dropped her off at a convenience store at south Park Avenue and east Ajo Way at 10:00 a.m.

Later that day, a woman found Molina's purse, containing a small amount of cash, was found on the roadside near west Ajo Way and south Comanche Road, about fifteen miles west of downtown Tucson. This was the last sign of her; she has never been heard from again. Foul play is suspected in her disappearance, which remains unsolved.
