It’s a Friday morning in Marietta and the familiar hum of life at the office of Family Dentistry at Seven Hills never arrived for one of its own. Dr. Melanie Nadler Litt, a well-known dentist in the community, simply didn’t show up for her shift. As worry mounted and the hours trickled away, the search that followed unearthed unsettling clues: her car found abandoned, her phone left behind—and no sign of her.
Dr. Litt was reported missing on October 13, according to the Cobb County Police Department (CCPD). Coworkers at the Dallas practice say they didn’t know of the report until the following day when she failed to arrive for work. That morning, her husband had phoned the office asking someone to remind her to call him once she got in. When she didn’t appear, they say things escalated quickly.
At her Marietta home, officers conducted a welfare check after one of her coworkers drove over to meet them. The front door was locked, the husband not present. Inside, they found Dr. Litt’s phone, powered off and left in her bag. Her vehicle, however, was nowhere to be found. Later, that car was located in a parking lot along Barrett Parkway – abandoned.
CCPD says foul play is not currently suspected, and that the disappearance has not yet been deemed suspicious. But as the days stretch into five without her, the community’s concern is escalating. Investigators are urging anyone with info to come forward.
Friends and coworkers describe Dr. Litt’s disappearance as wildly out of character. She has lived in the area since about 2004 with her husband, their son and two birds. She’s said to have an active professional life and a “village” of people who love her — which is exactly why her sudden vanishing has left so many unsettled. > “That’s completely out of character for her…” one friend told Fox 5.
For now, the details remain murky: when and where she was last seen, what clothing she might have been wearing, or whether her vehicle was towed or left on its own. Some coworkers suggest her husband had her car towed back to their home — but police have not confirmed that.
Her workplace and community are rallying quietly, posting pleas for help and keeping hope alive that she will walk back through the door. For now, here is the ask: if you saw Dr. Litt or have any information that could lead to her safe return, please contact the Cobb County Police Department or dial 911. The priority remains her safe return to her loved ones.
