Tonight Friday (December 23 2023) “CBS 48 Hours” Detectives believe a 13-year-old girl who vanished from her California home in 1981 was murdered; more than 20 years after the disappearance, a traffic stop in Arizona turns up a woman claiming to be the missing girl.
The December 23 edition of “CBS 48 Hours” starts at 10PM ET/PT on CBS. Mary Day was 13 years old in 1981 when she vanished from her family’s Seaside, Calif., home. What’s shocking is that there is no record of her parents ever reporting her missing. Years later, after her sister got police on the case, they believed Day was murdered. But then there was a turn no one saw coming. Maureen Maher and 48 HOURS investigate the strange case of the missing teenager, the police investigation years later, and a woman in Arizona who claimed to be her, in an encore of “What Ever Happened to Mary Day?”
