Brown hair, brown eyes. Norma wears eyeglasses. Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Norma was last seen at her home in the 800 block of Billie Ruth Lane in Hurst, Texas in May 2014. Her husband, Robert Shultz, said she packed her clothes and belongings in a suitcase and left home on May 24. However, police believe she actually disappeared on May 19, five days earlier than he claimed. She left her van behind at home and has never been heard from again. According to Robert, Norma's mother died several months prior to her disappearance and she was upset about it, and he thought this was part of the reason she left. It's uncharacteristic of her to leave without warning, miss family events or be out of touch with family members. In June 2019, police got a search warrant and dug up the background of Norma's home, looking for her body. They found nothing of interest, however. Norma's case remains unsolved. She's considered missing under suspicious circumstances.

A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
