What Happened to Wanda Mitchell?

Published: Oct. 18, 2021, 7:30 a.m.

UNDETERMINED, 1980: She was one day shy of her 15th birthday when Wanda Mitchell ran away from home. Less than a year later, her remains were recovered from the woods in Poland, Maine. To this day, her death is considered undetermined -- not a homicide, not an accident, not a single clear answer as to what happened to the teenage girl or who, if anyone, is responsible. 

The search for answers has gone on for over 40 years. Wanda’s mother is keeping her story alive.

This is the story of Wanda Jean Mitchell told by her mother Sheila Simoneaux.
