- Details of Disappearance:
- Mildred and her little girl, Patricia, vanished from their Garden City, Michigan home on August 28, 1964. Mildred’s husband, Jesse, said they argued after he spanked Patricia. When he came home, they were gone, along with some of their belongings (like Patricia’s potty chair), but their clothes were left behind. Mildred had written Jesse a note (on a typewriter!), but he destroyed it.
No one ever saw or heard from Mildred and Patricia again. It wasn’t until two weeks later, after Jesse checked with Mildred’s parents in Pennsylvania, that they were officially reported missing.
Police looked into the case again in 2004, even digging up their old house, but found nothing. Jesse is now retired and lives in Florida. Mildred’s parents are deceased, but her sister is still looking for answers. Exactly what happened to Mildred and Patricia remains a mystery.
