Mary "Bobo" Shinn was a well liked, friendly and talented artist and teacher living in her native Magnolia, Arkansas.  Teaching classes out of a small art studio she purchased north of the town square, she made strong connections with many people, both children and adults, as she guided them to find their artistic abilities.

On Thursday, July 20th, 1978, the twenty-five year old was supposed to get together with friends when she received a call from a man interested in purchasing a house she'd recently remodeled.  Bobo agreed to pick the man up, since his car was in the shop, and left her art studio.  She was spotted around town several times and then she mysteriously vanished.

Her car was found abandoned in a grocery store parking lot hours later.  The keys dangled from the ignition and scratches and scrapes suggested the vehicle had been driven off road.  Despite an assortment of eye witnesses, no one has ever been able to identify the man Bobo was seen with that afternoon and nearly 50 years later her case remains open.
