Marie Giles Missing Person Case

Marie Deloris Giles, a 39-year-old woman from Tampa, Florida, was last seen on November 15, 1971. On that day, neighbors reported seeing her in a car driven by her boyfriend at around 11:00 a.m. Disturbingly, witnesses noted that Marie appeared to be slumped over in the vehicle. After this sighting, she was never seen again. Later, her car was found abandoned behind the Western Auto Store at the Northgate Shopping Center, but there was no sign of Marie.

Her disappearance has remained a mystery for over five decades, with very little new information emerging over the years. Despite the lack of significant leads, the Tampa Police Department continues to investigate, and her case remains open. Marie was described as an African American woman, standing between 5'0" and 5'2", and weighing approximately 120-130 pounds. There has been no resolution, leaving her family and community in the dark about what may have happened on that day in 1971.

Her case is part of Florida's cold case files, and authorities still encourage anyone with information to come forward to assist in bringing closure to this long-standing mystery.
