## Resource

In this case update, we cover the latest developments in the disappearance of the Martin Family. The 1958 Christmas holiday was quickly approaching, and the Martin family of five set out on a quiet Sunday drive to collect greenery for their holiday decorations. They waved goodbye to their neighbors, never to return. Months later, the bodies of two of the children, Susan and her older sister Virginia, were found in Oregon’s Columbia River, but the rest of the family was never found. Their sudden, mysterious disappearance sparked decades of rumors and whispers, many of which may now, finally, be laid to rest with a shocking new development—a potential discovery of their car. Could this lead to the answers that have eluded investigators for over six decades? You can find us on Instagram and Facebook .
