I use to live in this area, Marathon, and I knew Buffy and her kids. My daughter was in the same class as her son, Josh, and was playmates with her daughter, Samantha. Also, Buffy's ex-husband, Pat McMahon, was my landlord. The children use to hang out @ my house and are great kids. I still remember making brownies for them. Buffy was estranged from her current husband, Bill Dougherty, and had been court ordered to move out of their Jennings Creek home.
I wish that someone would come forward and tell what they know. This area is very rural and made up of small towns or villages. So, basically, everyone knows everyone's business. I am sure someone knows what happened to Buffy and is afraid to come forward.

Bethanie is my sister. We have the same dad, she is from his first marrage. I was very close to Behtanie. Just want to provide a few answers for you all. I called Bethanie and spoke with her oldest son the day she was discovered missing..... this is how it went down......
Her oldest son lived with her... he was the last known person to see her when she went off to bed....
Bethanie woke early in the morning in order to get to work, usaully around 3 in the morning and was at work by 5 in the moring.... her son was used to her getting up and the noise so he would really not think anything of someone moving about the house.... Bethanie was a smoker and would go outside to smoke in the morning, she never smoked inside, even in the winter....
Her oldest son woke up that morning to leave for school and saw that her work clothes were still laid out on the dining room table along with her purse, smokes, phone and keys..... the car was still in the driveway.......
When he got home her son told me that her phone was blowing up with people from work and friends calling her.... these are the exact words he said next......
"Uncle Wil wanna hear something funny....(my responce)... I woke up this morning and all of mom's stuff was still on the table and the van is still in the driveway and she isn't here..."
I was so scared that I thought I in a dream... that is NOT my sister.... she would never "disappear".....
I asked him if he knew where his step dad was, she was in the middle of a divorce. He said he was out of town..... actually her ex-husband had come back into town that weekend....and saw Bethanie at work.....I told my nephew to hang up, call his father and then call the ploice.... believe it or not a Sheriff lives next door to her home and he works the night shift and her ex-husbands neice and husband rent from that sheriff in a flat attached to their house.... So I called my family.... got back in touch with my nephew and he said that the police were called and that his stepfather showed up..... the search started and nothing was found, nothing......
The screams that were heard, were heard 800 yards or so from her home... two people called and reported but by the time the sheriffs arrived there was nothing to see, the dark and the rain took care of that.....
Bethanie was all about her children... she wouldn't even leave the house to go to the store without one of them being told....
The media reported that she was under stress.... of course, she was going through a divorce and was working long hours. anyone would be a bit stressed, but believe me, she wouldn't just run off..... she had to be taken and taken by someone that she knew well enough not to be alarmed when she saw them at 3 in the morning.... Keep this story going and find Bethanie
