at age 4. At right, Marjorie's sister Dorothea at age 65, about
the same age Marjorie would be today. The resemblance is striking.
Do you know a woman who looks like Dorothea? |
Little Marjorie
West disappeared on Mother's Day 1938 without a trace. Today the mystery
continues with Publisher Harold T. Beck sponsoring a nationwide search
for the woman who he believes was stolen and possibly taken into the
southern or southwestern United States.
Whatever
happened to Marjorie West?
On May 8, 2001 it will be 64 years since Marjorie West disappeared.
Local stories claim that she was taken to Canada and hidden by members
of the family. Others assert that she fell down an abandoned oil well.
None of these items of gossip bears any credence except to note for
those who continue to read on that the meanness of a small town is
unmatched by the worst war crime that can be imagined.
