Documentary to Highlight Atlanta's Most Infamous Missing Persons Case

Mary Shotwell Little's disappearance has baffled investigators for decades. Sixty years ago, she left her job at Citizens and Southern Bank, where she worked as a secretary.

That evening, she met a coworker for dinner and shopping at Lenox Square, and they parted ways around 8 p.m. However, Little never showed up for work the next day, marking the beginning of one of metro Atlanta's most infamous missing persons cases of the 20th century.

Documentary Premiere

The documentary, "The Vanishing: The 60-Year Unsolved Disappearance of Mary Shotwell Little," will premiere at the SCADshow Theater on Spring Street in Midtown. The film was produced by Monument Motion Picture LLC.

Mary's story is not a footnote. When cases like Mary's go cold, it's not just evidence that goes missing.

The film's production team includes founder/CEO/producer Steve Kendrick, producer Bill Vanderkloot, executive producer W. John Fedack, and associate producer Pamela Pennamen.
