During World War II, West Virginia mother of five - Mary Jane VanGilder - left her children and abusive husband and took a job at an army depot in Shelby,\xa0Ohio. She stayed in touch with her family for a year or so, then vanished from their lives. For more than 80 years, her children - and then her grandchildren - searched for her. That\xa0mystery\xa0was solved when Shelby Det. Adam Turner took on the case and spent five years exhuming bodies and writing letters until he finally got an answer.\n\nwww.ohiomysteries.com\n\nfeedback@ohiomysteries.com\n\nwww.patreon.com/ohiomysteries\n\nwww.twitter.com/mysteriesohio\n\nwww.facebook.com/ohiomysteries\n\nAdditional music:\nNew Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch\nLearn more about your ad choices.
