Marguerite Daniel Was Last Seen At A Bar With A Man In 1978
There are differing reports regarding specific details of this case.
An evening out on the town sparked a mystery. Very little has been shared about this case, but it was back in 1978 that Marguerite Daniel vanished from Detroit, Michigan.
The city was in the heart of Spring on May 1 of that year when Marguerite Daniel was reportedly visiting a bar near the corner of Cortland Street. The last time anyone saw the 47-year-old was at the tavern with a person described as a "male friend," but the man's identity hasn't been named in public reports. What happened to Marguerite after that meeting is unknown. If she left the bar with the man, as do any details about the missing woman's personal life, remains a mystery.
No one has heard from or seen Marguerite since that time.
