Missing since June 21, 1977 from Haaula, Honolulu County, Hawaii
Classification: Endangered Missing
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance
Charlotte Moriarty and her son Marx both disappeared on June 21, 1977, leaving behind only a baby's stroller at a Haaula bus stop. Moriarty took her son out for a walk at about 9 a.m., and the stroller was found at 1 p.m. at a bus stop at 54-295 Kamehameha Hwy. Marx's father, Mark Barnes, filed a missing persons report on July 10, 1977, more than two weeks after he found the stroller.
In the report, Barnes explained to police that Moriarty had been missing on several prior occasions, but she had returned home, and that he thought this incident was another one of Moriarty's taking off for no reason.
Ms. Moriarty's family believes she would never leave without contacting family and did not disappear on her own accord, as her young daughter was due to visit her the summer she went missing. Ms. Moriarty's family disputes much of the information Barnes gave to the police. The family believes that Ms. Moriarty and her son, Marx, met with foul play.
Neither Marx nor his mother has been seen or heard from again.
