Hey, prime members, you can listen to the vanished ad free on Amazon Music. Download the app today.

From what I understand, my mom was very independent before she met my dad.

And she had her own apartment, and she had a good job.

She had a dog, she was very happy with where she lived and what she was doing.

And then once she became pregnant with her first, my sister, she had quit working after her seventh month.

From then she didn't work anymore.

So then she became very dependent on my dad.

And he gave her very little to pay the bills for groceries.

So she had no extra money, even to do anything outside the house.

And I would argue that the vast majority of citizens and people in this general area aren't even aware of Donna Mae's case.

The reason why I'd like to keep every so often as part of our social media plan, keep her information current and relevant.

38-year-old Donna Mae Barrel disappeared from her home in the Scego Wisconsin on May 6, 1979.

As you heard in part 1, the two had an argument that evening and Donna Mae left in her car.

John claims that he went to bed that night, but a woke later when he heard doors slamming inside the house and someone rushing about.

He assumed this was Donna Mae.

John then heard a car turn around in the gravel parking lot across the street and slowly drive away.

He later got up to investigate and found Donna Mae's car parked in the garage, but Donna Mae was gone.

In part 1, we examined the events that unfolded right before Donna Mae's disappearance and in the months that followed.

In this second part, we're going to take a deeper look at the relationships that are relevant to this case.

I'm Marisa and from Wondory, this is episode 125 of The Vanished, part 2 of Donna Mae's story.
