Circumstances of Becky's Disappearance

Becky (Kraemer) Marzo had just started a new job. It was one of several things she was doing to start her life over again after her recent divorce. Becky seemed to be on the right track, living with her parents, going back to school, and working full time at a job she really enjoyed.

She was 21 when she met Carl, a charming man 11 years her senior who frequented her place of employment. About 6 months after they met, Becky moved in with Carl. Their 2 year relationship would start off as pleasant and full of promise, but soon, Becky began showing signs of domestic abuse. Co-workers later told family members that Becky often came to work bruised and depressed, and on May 2, 2003, Becky pressed Battery charges against Carl (REF: Wisconsin Circuit Court Access Case 2003CM001739). The case was dismissed without prejudice on December 10, 2003, when Becky failed to show up for court.

Becky was last seen entering her residence at 3160-3162 N. 5th street, Milwaukee, WI, in the late evening hours of December 13, 2003 or early morning hours of December 14, 2003. The night of her disappearance, she had been at Conversations Bar located at 3515 W. Villard Ave in Milwaukee, WI, with her girlfriends. Her girlfriend dropped her off at home, where Becky lived with her boyfriend Carl Rodgers. He had been texting and calling her all night demanding that she come home. Carl was the last person known to have seen her.

There is absolutely no trace of Becky Marzo after December 13, 2003. After her girlfriends dropped her off at the apartment that Becky and Carl shared, she was never seen or heard from again by anyone.

She never picked up her last check from work.

She never returned another phone call or email from her many family members and friends.

There has been no activity on her social security number.

Her drivers license expired and was never renewed.

None of her bills have been paid, other than her cell phone bill, which Carl was paying for. He had her cell phone in his posession and was using it.

However, even though Carl was using the phone, he did not delete Becky's voice from the personal greeting, so callers, including myself, still heard Becky's voice on the message even though Carl was the one who was using the phone and paying the bill each month. Her family, her friends, her co-workers - we all left voice mail for her and wondered why she never called us back.

I can't help but ponder, in retrospect, whether he was listening to our messages, or just deleting them, unheard? We will never know.

What we do know, is that after her girlfriends dropped her off, no one but Carl ever saw or heard from her, ever again. Becky has simply vanished without a trace. And he told no one. He never reported her missing, and over a year later, when questioned, he gave several different stories on several different dates. Each story was wilder than the last. One of his stories was that armed men invaded the house and took her at gunpoint to work in a strip club - basically, that she was kidnapped for human trafficking - and yet he never reported her missing. Then, after all this time had passed and he gave the story about the armed men, he stated they also stole some of his personal property, and promptly filed a back insurance claim for money to replace the supposedly stolen items. This was over a year later! If that happened, why wouldn't you report it to the police or tell someone, anyone? But that wasn't his only story either. It changed several times. We will never know which one, if any, approached the truth, however, becuase Carl committed suicide and took any information he may have had about Becky's disappearance to the grave with him.

Becky's family misses her very much and has worked endlessly find out what happened to her since she went missing on December 13 2003, just three days after she failed to show up for a domestic violence court date for an assault that Carl had allegedly committed against her.

Her family is desperate to speak with anyone who can give them any information about her whereabouts and what happened to her. We are turning to the public for assistance in solving this case. Somewhere there is someone who holds the key to helping us locate Becky. Is it you?
