This begins part two of my February 2020 interview with investigator Adam Turner.

If you've not yet listened to Part 1, please find it in Unfounds Feed.

On February 7th, 2020, this podcast featured a disappearance that I don't think anybody believed would be resolved in our lifetimes.

If only for the reason that it's the oldest case this podcast has covered.

Yet, in 2024, we discovered we were all wrong.

It got solved.

Today, I look at how that happened and why this should give hope to thousands of families.

I'm Ed Dunsell, and this is unfound.

Well, if it helps, being that I used to live in Nevada, Nevada also has marriage records online.

I don't know if they go back to the 1940s, but you can access marriage records in the state of Nevada for free.

At least in Clark County, where Las Vegas is.

Maybe that will help you out a little bit. Because I've gone on there to check that for some cases that unfound is covered.

So...

And another avenue that I have pursued is I contacted the IRS to see if, to see if, you know, Mary Jane's taxes, to see if there was a history of taxes after her initial disappearance.

You know, unfortunately, the federal government basically says, I can't, we're not releasing that to you.

The only person that could be released to it would be her next to kin, which at this point would be Anna.

But Mary Jane's never been declared legally deceased.

So for anime to give those records, Mary Jane would have to be declared legally deceased.

And we don't even know if there are tax records past 1945.

But, you know,

it's just, it's bureaucratic red tape that, you know, that we have to jump through,

which makes everything more difficult.
