In 1997 a much loved mother, teacher and friend leaves Australia for England on the trip of a lifetime.

Instead, within weeks, the lady vanishes.

This is the case of Marion Barta,

former wife of Ozzy soccer great Johnny Warren.

At the age of 51, she quit her job, sold her home and said goodbye to her grown-up children.

And that was the last time I've ever spoken to her.

For more than 20 years, none of her loved ones, or even police, have laid eyes on her.

She loves her children, and I couldn't see then and I can't see now that she would let

them go.

But someone has used her passport and drained money from her bank account.

Where is Marion? Is she in hiding or has she met with trouble?

It was just a shock when she supposedly came back but she disappeared.

The bizarre circumstances surrounding her disappearance and the relentless quest of a daughter to find her mom.

I don't even have to know where you are. I just need some proof so that I can get on with my life too.
