Summary

In July of 1994, 42 year old Dolly Rose Grigsby was reported missing after visiting a shopping mall in Mercer County, West Virginia. Her husband, Dan Grigsby, did everything he could to try to find his missing wife and mother of their two children. The more time passed, it appeared what happened to Dolly would remain a mystery forever. But a shocking development three months later blew the case wide open.
