Wanda Jean Mays (August 19, 1959 – May 12, 1986) was an American woman who disappeared on Georgia Mountain near Guntersville, Alabama in 1986.
She was reported missing by her aunt and uncle in the early morning hours of May 12, when they found the guest room in which she was staying empty, its window apparently broken from inside.
Mays' bloodied nightgown was found behind the family's home on Guntersville Lake, as was an empty canoe, also covered with blood, floating in the lake. The unusual details surrounding Mays' disappearance led her case to receive national attention, and it was profiled on the series Unsolved Mysteries twice beginning in 1987.
With no leads, however, her disappearance became a cold case. In 2008, twenty-two years after her disappearance, it was confirmed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, that formerly unidentified skeletal remains discovered in 2003 were those of Mays.
Her death was officially ruled accidental.
