A remarkable fact surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan is that no one has yet come forward to confirm they saw her after she collected her pay at the National Pencil Factory shortly after noon on Saturday.

Several people have said they believed they saw her, or that they spotted a girl matching her description, but no one has been able to say so with certainty.

The Atlanta detective department is particularly eager to trace every movement the girl made from the moment she left the factory, and is actively seeking the names of anyone who can confirm having seen Mary Phagan after 12 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
