40 years After Her Son Vanished, Somebody Tips Police To Look In A Very Unexpected Place

One of the worst things that can happen to a mother is if one of her children disappears. 

But in Mary's case, she has two other children to take care of and must give everything to stay as strong as possible for them. And even though a mother will never truly stop looking, at some point she has to find a way to make peace with it.

With years, or even decades passing, wounds will heal and the memory will fade, but when the police get an unexpected tip nearly 40 years after Mary's son's disappearance, it changes everything...

The phone rang loudly through Mary's empty house. "Who could it be? At this time none the less". Mary picked up the phone and muffled a nervous hello. She was taken aback when the men on the other side of the line introduced himself as a police officer. What could he want from her?

Mary tries to calm herself down, but then the police tell her they got a tip-off. Mary's heart nearly stops when she hears who gave them the tip and she immediately rushes to the police station...
