Sometime in August of 1957 20-year-old Mary Margaret Begay was last seen at the Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. She worked at the park and had left her home in Leupp, Arizona to work there. On the day she disappeared Mary and three friends left their employee housing and went to the Grand Canyon Inn to have some drinks. She got into a vehicle with two unidentified Hopi Indian Men. She was never seen again.
When she didn't return to work she was fired and they boxed up her belongings. Her family didn't realize she was missing till they went to visit and she was gone. They reported her to the Navajo Nation Authorities and the Coconino County Sheriffs' office didn't find out till a year later.
One of her friends believed she had simply run away and didn't want her family to know where she was. It's thought this was unlikely because she was in touch with her family regularly while she was working at the park.
A body was found in 1958 believed to be belonging to Mary, but no positive identification was done.
Mary is a Native American female. She was 5'2" to 5'5" and 100 to 120 lbs. She has black hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a white sweater and pedal pusher pants.
