Details of Disappearance:
Edna disappeared in Philadelphia on June 24, 1975. She was a recent junior high graduate who’d just gotten a pony from her brother-in-law. She went to visit her pony at a stable and was last seen leaving there. She didn’t take any money, just cigarettes. There’s no sign she planned to run away.

Her family suspects her brother-in-law, who was at the stable the day she disappeared. The family says he had abused Edna and gotten her pregnant, but this hasn’t been officially confirmed.

After Edna vanished, her sister received threatening calls from a man who claimed to know details about Edna’s clothes and where he’d buried her. Police think Edna was likely murdered, and her case is being investigated as an abduction by someone outside her family.
