When someone goes missing, it’s common that their loved ones would notify the police and start searching for their loved one themselves as well, but how long do you search? When months, years and decades go by, eventually the police and the loved ones would stop searching, considering the case an unsolved mystery.
One mystery from 42 years ago has finally been solved, kind of. Police were able to find the woman who went missing, but they still don’t know why she went missing or what her life has been like these past 42 years.
Back in the 1970s, a woman named Flora and a man named Robert both worked at the same hotel. It was called The Concord, and it was a resort at the time. They appeared to be married because Flora and Robert used the same last name, Stevens. It was Robert who reported Flora missing to the police.
One day, Robert drove Flora to a hospital at a nearby town for an appointment. When he returned to pick her up from her appointment, she was gone. He reported her missing, but she was never found. He died in 1985 and never knew what happened to his wife.Then, over 40 years after she first went missing, the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office got a call from an investigator who was wondering if some skeletal remains that had been recently discovered might be a DNA match with Flora. The investigator was wondering if she had any living relatives so he could try to match the DNA.
