Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP36115) and 4 other sources
Marie Simonia Wade, a 19-year-old woman, was last seen on July 11, 1983, in Los Angeles, California. Her sudden disappearance has left very few clues, and she has never been heard from again. Some records list her disappearance date as July 18, 1983, but most accounts point to July 11 as the day she went missing. At the time, Marie was wearing purple shorts and black sandals. She is described as an African American woman with brown hair and brown eyes, standing at 5'6" and weighing around 125 pounds.

Despite the passage of time, little information has surfaced regarding the circumstances of Marie's disappearance, and the case remains unsolved. No significant leads or developments have been reported, and her case is still classified as missing. Law enforcement agencies, including the Los Angeles Police Department, continue to seek information from the public to help resolve the mystery surrounding her disappearance.
