The Day Mary Faye Disappeared

Jill and Dick are travelling this week, so please enjoy this episode from last spring until we return with a new episode next week! On a quiet Saturday afternoon in May of 1967, 34‑year‑old Mary Faye Hunter strolled through downtown Decatur, Alabama. She had her hair done. She stopped by the grocery store. Then she started the short walk home to her parents’ house. But she never made it. Within hours, her family knew something was wrong. Mary Faye was dependable. She didn’t disappear without a reason. But days passed. Then weeks. Then months. And five months later, her remains were found in the backwaters of the Tennessee River. Join us for The Day Mary Faye Disappeared. For decades, Mary Faye Hunter became a name frozen in time—a photo, a headline, a cold case whispered about but never resolved. Today, let’s talk about what we know, what we think we know, and what we may never know. The routines she kept. The people she trusted.
