It has now been 30 years since Marie's Nov. 21, 1979 disapperence.
Her parents now ages 72 and 76 still search for their daughter. Let's bring her home. Snipet from 30 year anniversary article: Marie vanished Nov. 21, 1979, from a party in the Shadow Mountain subdivision outside Craig. The 30th anniversary of her disappearance is today.
At the family’s request, the 9 a.m. morning mass today at St. Michael Catholic Church, 678 School St., will be offered for Marie.
She was 15 years old when her parents last saw her, and would be 45 today.
Her whereabouts have never been known, a body has never been found and no one has ever been charged with her disappearance.
“It’s been a nightmare,” Mona Blee said. “It’s something we think about every day.”
At times, the couple said it feels like they can’t grieve for anything else. All the pain their bodies can muster is taken up mourning their little girl.
“We think about our parents, we don’t have any tears there,” Paul Blee said, weeping. “We talk about Marie, and they start falling. (It’s) because of the not knowing, I guess.”
As the years have gone by, the Blees said they no longer care much for answers to what happened the night she never came home.
They know she went to a 4-H dance at the Moffat County Fairgrounds Pavilion, and that she went to a party in Shadow Mountain after that.
They know she was escorted to the party by Monte Doolin, who was 18 at the time.
Doolin was convicted of telephone harassment for calling the Blees a few days after Marie’s disappearance and demanding a $5,000 ransom, but he denied knowing what actually happened to her.
The Blees know Marie was not buried in any of several wells, suspicious mounds or other possible hiding places exhumed by local law enforcement since her disappearance.
The only other things they care to know are these: Where is she now? Can she come home? Can her body be laid to rest?
