On the evening of January 6, 1981, Lonene “Lonnie” Rogers, a 29-year-old mother of two, returned to her home in Hayfield Township, Pennsylvania, after work. A blizzard was sweeping through the area, but Lonnie had plans to tell her abusive husband, Bud, that she and the kids were leaving him for good. According to Bud, the two argued that night and Lonnie left the house around 12:45 am, leaving behind her car, purse, hearing aids, and even her children. She was never seen or heard from again.

Despite decades of speculation and renewed advocacy efforts, Lonnie’s case remains unsolved, leaving her family and community asking, what happened to Lonnie Rogers?
