Just ran across this story on another site and there was no mention if either of the 2 bodies found were Franny.

Anyone local to the story have an update on Franny?

After more than four years of not knowing what happened to Frances "Franny" Graham, authorities in Illinois have announced a breakthrough in the case: skeletal remains found in November 2005 have finally been identified as hers.

Foul play is suspected in her death.

Graham, a Tellico Plains woman, was 72 at the time she went missing on Sept. 18, 2005. Her longtime companion's son, Arthur William Dockery, reported at the time that Graham and he had been kidnapped.

In September 2005, a Blount County woman named Frannie Graham, 72, left on a shopping trip with her boyfriend's son. It was the last time anyone saw her alive...

A few days later, Arthur Dockery showed up at the Blount County Sheriff's Department. He claimed that during that trip Frannie Graham and he had been abducted and loaded into separate vans... Shortly after that, Arthur Dockery disappeared. A few years later, his father, Floyd Dockery, passed away...

Arthur Dockery didn't attend his father's funeral. He still has outstanding charges in the area. Tom Dockery says Arthur is now working as a tour bus driver in Michigan. “I don't want this case to go unsolved. I don't want it to be put in a box and on a shelf. Likewise the guilty ones should be brought to justice,” Tom Dockery says.
