Summary

Teresa Lynn Butler was a 35 year old married mother of two from Risco, MO. She worked at Walmart and just recently learned to drive a manual transmission. On January 24, 2006, as was usually the case, her husband left to work the night shift while she remained at home with their two sons. The next morning, when he returned, the two boys were there unharmed. But Teresa was gone. She was never seen again.
