Our card this week is Clarence and Marjorie Poulson, the two of clubs from Minnesota.

Clarence and Marjorie were father and daughter, and both went missing from their rural home in 1984.

It started, like, a lot of missing persons cases, with hope.

The two were known for going off the radar every now and then.

But some of what was left behind at their house left neighbors thinking something was very wrong.

surroundings intimately, but hunters got lost or stuck in those swampy woods all the time. For years,

this disappearance puzzled authorities,

until a discovery unearthed the unimaginable.

And the building that stood on it was, as detective said at the time,

in very poor condition. I mean, before the sale, it was all but abandoned. So over the years,

Eldon and his son had been in the process of salvaging and removing boards from the dilapidated

farmhouse. But by 1990, they were ready to take the building off the block of its foundation.

And that's when they found it.

I believe he described it first as it looked like a pair of cowboy boots,

but then also some clothing is located.
