- Details of Disappearance:
- Anita vanished from Louisville, Ohio in 1963. She’d actually run away to Texas, got married, became “Lynda Smith,” had a daughter, and sadly died of cancer in 1994. Lynda told everyone she was an orphan. It wasn’t until after Lynda’s husband died in 2010 that her daughter found papers showing her mother’s name change. This led to a search for Lynda’s past. In 2016, the daughter learned about Anita’s disappearance and used a DNA test to find out if Anita was her mom. The test confirmed the connection in 2017. Anita had left home to escape abuse. Some family and friends knew but kept it quiet.
