- Details of Disappearance:
- Zeta Gordon disappeared in Atchison County, Kansas, on October 5, 1992. She left home around 2:00 a.m. after a fight with her husband, Wayne, saying she needed a drive to calm down. She was never seen again.
Zeta left behind three children. One saw her leave that night. The next day, two of her children found her white Chrysler car near an abandoned farmhouse. Her purse and suitcase were inside, the top was down, keys in the ignition, radio on – but Zeta was gone. They then reported her missing.
There were a few reported sightings of Zeta in the following weeks, but none were confirmed. Wayne, a dentist with influential family connections, divorced Zeta in 1994, remarried, and then committed suicide in 1998. Although police didn’t officially suspect him, many people thought he was involved.
Police believe Zeta was murdered because it’s very unlikely she would leave her children and mother. Her case remains a mystery.
