- Details of Disappearance:
- Carol disappeared from her Boca Raton, Florida home on November 22, 1980. She left behind everything – her belongings, money, even her car – which was unusual, especially since she had young children at home.
She was separated from her husband, Jack, and going through a divorce. They both worked together at an auto parts store, co-owned by Jack and Carol’s brother. A few days before she vanished, Carol told her daughter and friends that Jack had attacked her, tying her up and trying to strangle her. She had injuries that could support this claim.
Jack denied any involvement in her disappearance. He said he saw her leave with another man the day she went missing. He refused to help police and even hired a lawyer to keep them away. Later, he was arrested for running a car theft operation out of the auto parts store. He then disappeared, eventually found dead by suicide in Arizona.
Even though Carol’s daughters believed Jack killed her, and police suspect foul play, he was never charged with her disappearance. The case remains a mystery.
