This is the case of Marian Bata, a mother, teacher, friend, missing for 25 years.

You know, no sign that she was going to vanish, that's for sure.

The bizarre circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

I'm not sure if it was intentional or if there's something more foul of foot.

If you could imagine a teacher coming straight from, say, a little house on the Prairie to the 80s, that was Marian Bata.

What do you learn from I said?

Whether you find Marian Bata dead or alive, I honestly believe somebody has that key piece of information.

If something had happened, something has happened to make her leave.

I am 100% sure, 100% sure that somebody knows something.

The Lady vanishes.

Welcome back and thank you for your patience as we've prepared these new episodes.

We will reveal the detail in those submissions.
