So sad we have never found her. My grandpa looked for his sister until the day he passed.

I may know what happened to her. I am related through marriage. My Great Aunt Reecie married a man named Forest Prince. Whom is related to Leonard Prince if it's the right woman Gwendolyns Princes's ex husband. The story goes that they got into a fight and he chopped her up in a hog chopper and fed her to their hogs. This story comes from a preacher that was told about this Forest. Who went to his church. Forest, Leonard are both dead.

I just happened to hear the story one day from the pastor. The pastor said it was my distant relation. So being into family history. I went looking to see who in our family had a missing wife. Leonard Prince is the only one that matched. I didn't know what her name was. I knew Leonard had been married 3 or 4 times via the pastor. I went back to the pastor and showed him Debra. Whom had a baby that died at birth with Leonard. The pastor said it wasn't Debra but was in the 1990s. Their baby died in 1995. The pastor then informed me that he had been married several times. But Debra was after the missing wife. But I was on the right trail. He just couldn't remember her name. But that they were married. Then one day vanished and no one ever saw her again. They all continued to go to his church and years go by and someone from Leonard's group confessed to the pastor. I believe it was my great uncle Forest. Whom ran with Roger, Leonard. They all logged and had livestock.

Unfortunately if thats the case, it sounds like there probably isnt much that can be done. Would you be comfortable reaching out to Law Enforcement? They may be interested in speaking to the pastor who told you all this.

They could at least close the case if they can find solid evidence.

Thank you for reaching out

I'm talking to the pastor about this. It was an off the wall coincidence that I was even told about it. Then months later talking to another family member and then started searching. I just found he name last night. So this is all really fresh. All parties involved are dead. The hog feeder equipment that was out on 4434 popcorn road is no longer there. So how does one go and verify this?

 

[bluehearts]

After talking to the pastor. Leonard's brother Robert who was married to Betty. Went to his church. They got pretty close. Robert is the one that told him what his brother did. Leonard told Robert.

All are dead.
