Shirley Magee, 12: Vanished From Chicago In 1973
Very few details are known about her case.
It’s been decades since Shirley Magee went missing, and many of the details about her case still haven’t been shared. There is only a blip of information made public about the 12-year-old who vanished from Chicago.
Unfortunately, all that is known about his Midwest preteen is that she was last seen walking to Harlan High School on July 26, 1973. Sadly, there don’t seem to be any reports from that time about Shirley or her case.
