After investigating, the authorities suspected foul play was involved in Marjorie Wilson's disappearance, and she was classified as an endangered missing person, according to the Charley Project. The car, which had just a half tank of gas in it when she went missing, was never recovered. However, eyewitnesses reported seeing another car in the area that had been sideswiped and some of its paint scraped off. While some suspected perhaps it was Wilson's car that was responsible for the collision, her husband claimed she was always a very careful driver, so she must have either not been driving the car or been under extreme duress to have hit another car while behind the wheel.
The fact that the car has never been recovered leads many amateur online sleuths to suspect that she may have accidentally driven into Lake Monroe, which ran alongside the road heading toward her house. "People can behave very irrationally when they're unwell, and especially older people. Even simple conditions like urinary tract infections may cause delirium — this could potentially explain an otherwise cautious daytime driver deciding to drive home at night, without telling her husband, and making mistakes leading to a collision (and possibly driving into a body of water)," u/Sunscreen-Indoors mused on Reddit.
