NamUs #MP59776 - Opal Beatrice Fulks

By: Shane Lambert

 NamUs #MP59776 stands out in the month of September 2019 for NamUs. It was just added to the database even though the MP was last seen in 1931. Here's what NamUs states on the matter:

  • last contact: March 4th, 1931
  • aged 22 years ( meaning the birth year of 1909)
  • White female
  • 5'0" to 5'10" (note: the range here is HUGE)
  • 100 to 180lbs (note: huge range)
  • last seen in Monticello, Indiana
  • last documented location was at the birth of a daughter, Barbara Annette Fulks


I searched her name in newspaper databases. Nothing appeared for the exact name but "Opal Fulks" worked. Her husband Emery Fulks sought a divorce, according to an article I found in 1939:

Missing Kids and Their Bicycles - Cases of Dario Cicolecchia, Janice Pockett, and Others

By: Shane Lambert Season 2 of the hit TV show Forensic Files  included an episode (Episode 12) that contained information that those that work on missing person cases should note. The episodes tell of the missing person's case of Dario Cicolecchia, a boy in Switzerland who went missing in 1993. Importantly, this boy was found, his murderer was apprehended, and this murderer also made statements to the police about how he operated.
