Ngo-Okthobha nge-14, 1965, ngelixa umyeni wakhe uRoy wayephumile edolophini, uMary wayedla isidlo sangokuhlwa kunye nomntu asebenza naye ePiccadilly Cafeteria kwiLenox Square Shopping Centre, emva koko waya kuthenga iiyure ezimbalwa, wabiza umhlobo wakhe ebusuku malunga ne-8: Ngo-00 PM, ndaya emotweni yakhe emileyo, ngwevu ka-1965 iMercury Comet.
Xa uMary engafikanga emsebenzini ngentsasa elandelayo kwaye engafumaneki ekhaya, umphathi wakhe, uGene Rackley, wafowunela iZiko lokuThengisa laseLenox ukubuza ukuba iMercury Comet yakhe yayipakwe apho, kodwa bathi abayifumani.
Malunga nemini emaqanda, uRackley waya evenkileni ngokwakhe kwaye wafumana iMercury Comet kwindawo yokupaka, watsho ke emapoliseni. Ngoku, kuya kubakho iinkcukacha ezininzi ezingaqhelekanga ezijikeleze ukunyamalala kukaMariya.

Iimpahla zangaphantsi zabafazi, isiliphu kunye nebhanti zazisongwe kakuhle ngaphakathi kwiComet. Ubra wayelele phantsi ebhodini ecaleni kwesitokhwe esasisikwe ngemela. Izitshixo zemoto zikaMary, isipaji kunye nezinye iimpahla zakhe zazingafumaneki.
Kwakukho umkhondo wegazi kwizambatho zangaphantsi nakwisithuthi sonke - iifestile, ifestile, izitulo, kunye neminwe engaziwayo egazini kwivili lokuqhuba. Nangona kunjalo, inani legazi lalincinci ngokwaneleyo ukuba libonise ukuba livele kwinto encinci njengempumlo yempumlo. Ipleyiti yelayisensi yayitshintshwe ngesinye isithuthi ebiweyo.
URoy Little wagcina iilogs ezineenkcukacha zeComet kwaye emva kokuzithelekisa ne-odometer, abaphandi baqikelela ukuba bekukho iimayile ezingama-41 ezingenakubalwa. Akukho mangqina akhumbula ukubona isithuthi simile eLenox Square ubusuku bonke, kubandakanya nephoyisa elalijikeleza indawo yokupaka ngo-6: 00 kusasa kusasa.
Abaphandi bafumanisa ukuba ikhadi likaMary lepetroli lasetyenziswa kabini eMantla Carolina ngo-Okthobha 15. Ukusetyenziswa kokuqala kwenzeka ngentsasa yaseCharlotte - eyenzeka ukuba ibeyidolophu yokuqala kaMariya- kwaye eyesibini yenzeka emva kweeyure ezili-12 eRaleigh. Iziliphu zekhredithi zatyikitywa “Nkskz. URoy H. Little Jr ”koko kwabonakala ngathi ngumbhalo wesandla kaMary.

Abanye babahlobo bakaMary babengamthandi uRoy kwaye benqaba ukuya emtshatweni wabo, kodwa uMary wayehlala ekhupha ngathi wonwabile emtshatweni wakhe. URoy wayene-alibi eyomeleleyo okoko wayengaphandle kweAtlanta ngobusuku bokunyamalala kukaMary kwaye kuba wayengenazinjongo zintle, wagwetywa ngaphandle njengomrhanelwa.
Ongaziwayo kwelinye icala
Kungekudala emva koko, uRoy wafumana umnxeba wentlawulelo engaziwayo efuna i $ 20,000 XNUMX ukubuya kukaMary.
