The Missing Podcast released an episode about Polly's disappearance.
So many different theories on what could have happened to her.

Apparently the husband was right in his suspicions... she had another man and maybe she got together with him... when she crossed that hill knowing that he would be there she escaped with him... maybe the husband at that point in his life didn't She cared about that and left everything as it was... if she were still alive she would be about 100 years old and that is very difficult...
either way
rest in peace

Today is Pauline’s birthday.

She'd be 102. I hope whatever happened to her it was as she chose.
