Ruth Louise Martin was a woman who went missing in 1976.
She disappeared shortly before she was supposed to testify against Russell Smrekar for a shoplifting case. Smrekar was later convicted of the murders of two other people and was considered a suspect in the disappearance of Michael Mansfield, who was supposed to testify against him in a different case in 1975. He confessed to murdering both Mansfield and Martin on his deathbed in 2011, and although neither of their bodies have been found, the cases are considered closed.
