In the winter of 1981, Bud Rogers woke his children up at 3 am and hurried them to the babysitter’s house. He claimed his wife Lonene had left in the middle of the night and he was going to look for her. Forty-three years later, Lonnie is still missing and her daughter is pushing to find out what happened.
This case is unsolved.
