Well, maybe Ancestry is wrong... I didn't know Cathy and Mark when they actually married or why they did..
I met them through my boyfriend, because they were all his friends from high school and Cathy's Mom was my landlady. My boyfriend and Cathy lived in the apt building when I moved in, and thats how I met them.. I did not attend high school with them. When I met them and hung out with them, Cathy and Mark were married and I never actually understood why. Im sure they told me, but I can't recall. However, I distinctly remember they were going to officially divorce when Skylab fell. The strange thing is I didn't know them in 1979, so maybe that was something they had planned on and just told me about as a funny story from the past. I swear I remember waiting for Skylab to fall, but that would have been impossible. Strange..
Whenever we all met up, they would say hello wife, hello husband when greeting each other. It was very light hearted and strange. They were all such cool creative people and fun to hang out with.

I don't know. She was last seen at 7 Seas Lounge. I remember a mutual friend saying that she was last seen getting into a cab at 7 Seas Lounge,( likely after her shift)

Refreshing the thread..

I’m thinking drugs may have been involved in some way.
Her husband Mark (deceased) had a very long record including possession/ Heroin / criminal mischief/ burglary of a convenience store amongst other things. I don’t have dates for these though.

Such a beautiful smile. She seems so happy in these snapshots. Great to see them added.

This is Margie, Cathy’s sister. She did not have a perm and stopped wearing glasses. Drury is my mother’s maiden name and the date on the plaque was my mother’s guess of her disappearance.
Her disappearance is still a mystery to all of us.

Hi Margie - I see you haven't posted in awhile , but I hope you see this. Do you know if Cathy had a butterfly tattoo?

This UID was found in 1988 in Broward Co FL, height is off, but the curly hair from the UID has me intrigued. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
