Missing Person Mystery Solved - 50 Years Later...
[Image: 351896-missing.jpg]

Lucy Johnson vanished from the house she shared with her husband in Canada in September 1961, the Surrey Leader reported.

Investigators initially suspected her husband had something to do with her disappearance in Surrey, British Columbia

Marvin Johnson reported his wife missing in 1965, but investigators realized she'd last been seen four years earlier. Crews dug up his yard looking for a body, but found no sign of the then 33 year old wife and mother.

She hadn't been seen or heard from since.

But earlier this month, the Surry Leader newspaper ran a story about the case as a part of a series on missing people, piquing the interest of Johnson's daughter.

Linda Evans was seven or eight when her mother disappeared, she told the Leader. "Honestly, I thought she was dead because there's been no contact. Nothing," Evans, now in her late 50s, told the newspaper.

Evans placed an ad in newspapers around Yukon in northwestern Canada, near where her mother was born in Alaska. A woman responded to the ad to say she believed the woman Evans described was her own mother. It was.

Lucy Johnson is now 77 and lives in the Yukon, where she has four other children, three sons and a daughter.

"I'm still walking around in shock," Evans told the leader. "The police phoned me and said 'We found your mom.' And I said 'No, I found my mom'."

Cpl. Bert Paquet, spokesman for the Surrey RCMP, told CBC News, "The stars aligned, the timing was perfect." The two have not met yet, though Evans said she was saving for a trip north for a reunion.

"I have a lot of questions," Evans said. "And they're all 'Whys?'"
