She had recently left her verbally abusive husband in rural Indiana and moved in with her sister, Shelly, who simply can´t believe that her sister would ever willingly vanish without her children. But with limited support from the town´s police department or media resources, Shelly fears that Marla´s disappearance won´t get the attention it deserves, or worse, will go unsolved.
