On the night of October 14, 1965, Mary Shotwell Little—a newlywed, a secretary, a daughter—disappeared from the parking lot of Lenox Square in Atlanta. She was never seen again.

THE VANISHING is a meticulously researched investigative documentary that reexamines one of Atlanta’s most enduring cold cases. Drawing on archival records, witness accounts, and decades of unanswered questions, the film explores how Mary could vanish from a public place without a trace—and why the truth has remained elusive for more than 60 years.

Rather than sensationalizing tragedy, THE VANISHING centers on accountability, memory, and the human cost of unresolved crime. It asks not only what happened to Mary Shotwell Little, but what it means when answers never come—and why some stories refuse to be forgotten.

Now streaming on The Investigative Channel, THE VANISHING invites viewers to engage with a case that still matters—and a truth that remains out of reach.
