Judith Ehmke was last seen November 26, 1986. She worked as a nurse's aide at a nursing home, was married and had three children. In the morning, she was picked up by her husband from her overnight job at a nursing home. When her kids got home, her husband said Judith had taken off with another man.
He provided the children a typewritten goodbye letter.
At the time the couple were having a lot of marital difficulties, and Judith had met with an attorney two days before she disappeared. She planned on leaving her husband and taking her three children with her.
Police were notified about Judy Ehmke's disappearance when her daughter told a school counselor her mom was missing.
People close to Judith say she would never have abandoned her children. Foul play is suspected.
