Details of Disappearance​

Chauncy was last seen in Texarkana, Texas at 11:15 p.m. on October 20, 1987. She was driving her red 1983 Pontiac Fiero with the Arkansas license plate number MXB670, and a coworker followed her to her residence. Chauncy told her coworker that she thought a large white man driving a black car had been following her.

She has never been heard from again and her vehicle has not been located; a photo of a similar car is posted with this case summary. Her coworker reported her missing on October 22, after she missed two work shifts at St. Michael’s Hospital in Texarkana, Arkansas. Her nurse's uniform was discovered to be missing after her disappearance.

At the time she went missing, Chauncy was dating a married man, and his wife had found out and vandalized Chauncy's vehicle. Authorities believe Chauncy's ex-husband, her boyfriend, or his wife may have had something to do with her disappearance. Foul play is suspected in her case.

According to a public records search she was declared deceased, with the date of death listed as October 1987.

According to Rapid Compassion Collective, Bingle Lake which is north of the hospital she worked at has already been searched, as well as other private lakes. There are a lot of smalled bodies of water in texarkana so I'm trying to figure out which ones have already been searched. We see it time and time again that when someone goes missing and their vehicle is not recovered, them and their car are in a body of water. She mentions being followed by a black car, I wonder if this car ran her off the road. JMO MOO.

Police are asking for tips in solving a 36-year-old missing person case in Texarkana, Texas.

Margaret Chauncy was 24 years old when she was reported missing, and would be 60 years old today.


Police say it was a very active case in the late '80's, but leads in the case eventually dried up. They're hoping someone might have information that could help them find out what happened.

Dive teams recently have been searching for Chauncy's car in area waterways. Some vehicles were discovered, but none of them have been associated with the case.

Adventures With Purpose posted a video about two days ago of AWP searching the area lakes, rivers, etc. for her vehicle. The one area they couldn't access due to time scheduling was a retaining pond on the property of a business. Hopefully, AWP will be able to search it. They had contacted the business and were waiting on corporate to give or deny a search.
