Petition Help Edna Thorne
Apparently there is a suspect in Edna’s abduction. He was the husband of one of her older sisters. He may have sexually abused her and she may have been pregnant at the time. He is not to be publicly named but he refused to take a polygraph. He was at the stables when Edna arrived that day on June 24th 1975.
to all of you thank you so very much for keeping my sisters case alive it has been 37 long years our mother just turned 90 i do no lot of the info on here is wrong it was my house she left from that day 3047 front st Philadelphia she told me she was going to the stables she never returned ..... back than the police would not take a report for 48 hours than she was classified as a runaway there has been new details and persons that have come forward with information but according to the police its a he said she said thing funny some one came forward and showed the police where she was "dump " according to this person but according to Philadelphia police dept it would take a order from the pope to dig on the land ... it is private property in riverside new jersey were it was a dump for private trash company that this person worked for
I wish we had better pictures of Edna. The photograph of her makes her hair look like it’s very light blonde.
The family does care, her sister wants to find her and get closure. The case was initially treated as a runaway when she was reported missing. It wasn’t until a long while passed that the case would be considered an abduction. We don’t even know if Frank Ryan was involved, he has been investigated but no evidence was found to connect him to Edna’s case.This case bothers me....first it's very sad Edna fell "into the cracks". I can totally see her sister, advocating for her, doesn't have the power, network or other things needed to really do something, making LE following up the families ideas. And that hurts. Also the total family dynamics are not a great help. Image your family/sisters etc. accuses your husband like this....what would you do? If you ever read this, woman (older sister who married to this so called Frank Ryan), and you know more.....do the right thing....
I wish we knew who abducted her
