Unknown. Mary was last seen at approximately 10:00pm in the vicinity of the 200 block of Clarence Bonnett Rd. in Lucedale, MS. Additional information: Loper was last seen in the 200 block of Clarence Bennett Road in Lucedale, Mississippi at approximately 10:00 p.m. on May 29, 2002. Her husband, Jonathan "Carl" Loper, stated that around 4:00 a.m. the next morning the couple's six-year-old son woke him up because their four-month-old son was crying. Mary was not in the home at the time. On the day of Mary's disappearance, she called her mother from the emergency room and told her that Carl had injured her during an argument and dropped her off at the hospital to get stitches. She asked her mother for a ride home from the hospital. Mary also called her sister and told her she was afraid of Carl hurting her but that she needed to go home and get her children. Her mother, sister, and minister offered to accompany her while she got some belongings and her children; however, Mary refused. She was last seen by her mother when she was dropped off at the home she shared with Carl. When police went to the home to investigate, they did find blood in the home but believe it could have been from the cut Mary got during the argument the night before she vanished.
