It was just a few days before Valentines' Day on February 10th, 1990 and Martha "Marty" Evans, the mother of two was a bridesmaid in her best friend's wedding in Knappa, Oregon. She was still wearing baby's-breath and the special black dress with burgundy lace accents that her mother and sister Joyce Van Osdol had made for the wedding. Her signature jacket and black leather purse had been left behind the night Evans went out after the reception and she and the truck she was driving has never been seen again. What really happened the night Evans disappeared is the topic of this weeks episode as Christine and Kim explore the many questions, possibilities and theories according to the family and news reports.
Here are some of mysterious events leading up to Marty's disappearance:
Several phone calls to a boyfriend who told Evans not to come over that night;
A phone call to an ex-husband and a pending custody case;
An alleged confession on a mans death bed her murder;
A recent friendship with a drug dealer and a bust the same night;
After over 30 years--wherever Marty is, her family wants answers for closure for her children and for her community.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Oregon State Police at 503.325.5515.
