    My Hubby's Christmas Gift

    I have a family relative who went missing in 1988. There was blood and a tooth left in her bedroom. She has never been found. Her parents and uncles are now gone. Now it is up to her siblings to keep her in the face of the authorities. What a horrible thing how many young people go missing.
