Summary

Twenty-eight year old Peggy Anne McGuire was last seen dropping her son off for school in Canadian, Oklahoma on the morning of Monday, November 16th, 2015.  Within hours of leaving the school, the single mother would mysterious disappear leaving behind a series of confusing clues which continue to cloud the truth.

The day after her disappearance a local bar captured an unidentified individual on surveillance footage abandoning Peggy's truck in the early morning hours before disappearing into the pre-dawn darkness.  That individual has never been identified nor has anyone been named a person of interest or suspect.

For Peggy's family, there's only one suspect -- her ex-boyfriend and the father of her son, Thomas McIntosh.  They claim McIntosh was a violent and abusive man who threatened Peggy's life on multiple occasions in the years leading up to her disappearance.  McGuire's cell phone data shows she arrived home that morning and disappeared from somewhere surrounding the house she shared with her ex, Mr. McIntosh.

On a cold and windy morning in November of 2015, 28-year-old Ufala Oklahoma resident Peggy McGuire

0:17.3

loaded her young son up into her truck and made the 20-minute drive to drop him off at

0:22.6

elementary school. She hugged him tight, told him she loved him, and said she'd see him later that

0:28.6

afternoon when he got out of class. After leaving the school, Peggy placed a call to her father,

0:35.7

where they discussed plans to add a deck to the back of her home.

0:39.5

He was more than happy to oblige, but he'd need certain measurements which Peggy promised to record

0:44.9

as soon as she got home. However, sometime later that morning, the single mother seemed to mysteriously

0:51.5

vanish from the face of the earth.

0:59.8

All calls to Peggy kicked back with no answer, and it appeared her phone had been powered off,

1:01.6

something she never did.

1:08.3

Following desperate attempts from her mother, father, co-worker, and friends, she was officially reported missing.

1:10.1

It was soon determined that Peggy did in fact make it

1:13.0

back to her home north of Ufala in the Stidham area, but from there, no one could say with any

1:19.7

certainty what may have happened. Days after her disappearance, Peggy's truck was found abandoned

1:26.0

at a bar not far from her home.

1:28.7

Surveillance footage showed an unidentified figure leaving the vehicle and disappearing into

1:34.1

the early morning darkness. While law enforcement initially theorized that the 28-year-old

1:40.5

may have left of her own volition, it didn't take long for her family and much of the

1:45.8

local community to set their sights elsewhere on the missing woman's ex-boyfriend and the

1:51.8

father of her child with whom she was sharing a home at the time. Was Peggy the victim of a random

1:58.8

act of violence, or did a history of domestic abuse finally lead to a violent end for the dedicated nurse and mother?

2:08.5
