MISSING PERSON
Marian P. Parsons   W/F   Date of Birth 11/11/1956
Approximately 5’5” Tall  150 pounds
Resides at 4577 FM 879, Palmer Texas
Marian was last seen on 12/1/2010 at approximately 11:30 a.m.  The last known
contact with any person was at 3:59 p.m. when she called a neighbor.
On 12/1/2010 she went to the IHOP in Ennis with a neighbor at 9:28 a.m.  The two
remained at the restaurant until 10:05 a.m.  They left the restaurant and
returned to the neighbor’s home where she stayed for a while and then returned
to her own residence at approximately 11:30 a.m.
Her boyfriend returned home at approximately 8:30 p.m. and observed the front
gate at the residence to be locked and Marian’s truck in the driveway.  The
truck was unlocked.  He entered the residence after unlocking the door knob.  He
noticed the deadbolt had not been secured.  Marian’s keys were on a table just
inside the home.  All of Marian’s clothes and accessories were at the
residence as was her personal hygiene items.  The only items that were missing
were Marian’s purse and contents.
As stated, the last conversation recorded on her phone was at 3:59 p.m. on
December 1st.  After her boyfriend had been home several hours he began to get
worried and called the neighbor.  She told him she was unaware of Marian’s
whereabouts.
On 12/3/2010, almost forty-eight (48) hours later, the Ellis County Sheriff’s
Office was contacted and Marian was reported missing.  We developed many leads
into the case and each has proven fruitless.  We remain concerned for her safety
and would encourage anyone that has seen or spoken with her since Noon on
12/1/2010 to please contact Detective Jeff Winningham at the Ellis County
Sheriff’s Office (972)937-6060 or direct line (972)825-4992.
