Wish we knew more about the day Mabel disappeared. Was her husband a POI?
Did she leave behind personal belongings?

I've seen this on this site before. Does it mean her body was identified or ?

Beautiful lady.

It means that it is very likely that she’s been located (alive or deceased). There’s also the possibility that the case was hidden from public view (less likely, as the resolved cases went up when her profile was removed). We can’t know for sure until there is an official announcement, which sometimes doesn’t come, unfortunately.

Move along, folks... Nothing to see here.

Never mind all of the sites listing her as missing and family members seeking her for the past 60 or 70 years!

If correct (and it certainly makes sense), Mabel went on to live a long life and pass away in 1996.

Yes, the "family members seeking" part is always hard for me. There are very legitimate reasons for folks to wish to know or locate missing relatives. But, ironically, this is one situation where a desire for privacy is still honored... jmo

But was that desire for privacy expressed by Mabel or given by assumption that she wished that?
There are legitimate reasons for folks to wish to know or locate missing relatives as well as there could be very legitimate reasons for people to wish that their relatives wont be able to locate them.
