Since 2018, no one has seen or heard from Marsha Lonix. Just two months before her 56th birthday, KNOE News shared a report listing people recently arrested in central Louisiana, including Marsha.
She’d reportedly been picked up for aggravated robbery, but no other information regarding the arrest was shared. Mysteriously, approximately ten days later (according to one outlet) would be the last time anyone would have contact with the missing woman.

The exact date that Marsha Lonix went missing is up for debate. New outlets state that she was last seen on October 19, 2018, while NamUs (National Missing & Unidentified Persons System) reports that Marsha vanished on August 30, just a week and a half after her arrest.
Her family reported her missing, but it’s unclear how much time had passed since they last saw or spoke with her before contacting the police.
It is noted that Marsha frequents the downtown Alexandria and Bolton Avenue areas.
