    The group said that days before she went missing, Ms Backeberg, now 82, had filed a criminal complaint against her husband, whom she had married at the age of 15, alleging he had beaten her and threatened to kill her.

    Glad she escaped. Sucks that in 1962 “disappearing completely” was the only option she saw.

      I said this in another post on the subject. The woman fled her abusive husband before he killed her, cop finds her 60 years later and says “yep. Guess she just has a free spirit!”

      Fuck.
