In the summer of 1996, 30-year-old Anne-Marie Fahey disappeared after a dinner date in Philadelphia.

She was responsible, organized, and the kind of person who wouldn't just vanish.

She worked in the Delaware governor's office and had her whole life scheduled like clockwork.

But behind the scenes, she'd been trying to escape a relationship with a powerful attorney from a prominent Delaware family.

And just when she was finally ready to leave, she disappeared never to be seen again.

Hey guys, and welcome to the Moms and Mysteries podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mandy. How are you? I'm doing well. We are towards the end of January. I feel like I, January is one of those months that feels like it always just goes on and on. I just saw like a meme before we started recording that was like, just so everybody knows, like, next week is still January. I'm like, oh yeah, so it is. I was looking at something about the 31st and I was like, oh my gosh, it's still another week away. Yeah. Yeah, that's wild. I know this weekend when we're recording this, there's so much snow ice craziness going on. I can't even believe it. I don't know. Have you talked to your mom? Do you know how they're supposed to fare up there?

I don't actually know how they're supposed to fare up there in New York, I always assume that they are well

equipped and well prepared usually for things like winter storms because they should be.

Right. They're pretty used to winter weather up there. So I don't worry about them as much. The people

I worry about more or my family that are in Texas that don't have preparations for things like crazy ice storms or crazy,

like really cold weather. So I did check in with my grandfather who lives in Texas and he said

he's, he is staying home, but he's got a couple of different things in place to ride it out and

be okay. But yeah, it's really crazy and scary. And I do feel like this is always

the time of year where the craziest weather happens. It was around this time of year. And we also

just recently had a little bit of snow in North Florida this year. In Tacola, yeah. So I feel like it

always is that kind of like late January. It's, we're just in the thick of it. It's just

fully winter for everybody. Yeah. Yeah. So hopefully everybody listening made it through the

crazy cold snap and hopefully everybody's thought out by the time this episode comes out.

For sure. So we'll get into the story for this week.

Anne-Marie Fahey was born on January 27, 1966 in Wilmington, Delaware, to Kathleen and Robert Fahey.

Her mom worked as a secretary at DuPont, and she was the daughter of Irish immigrants, and her father was a salesman.

And this is just a tiny detail, but it is one that kind of matters.
