## Resource

In 1997, as the internet connected strangers across state lines, Minnesota-native Toni Bachman formed a close bond with a man in West Virginia. Friends say she was thinking seriously about change. About leaving. About building a future that looked different from the life she had. Then she disappeared. At first, there were questions no one could answer. Did Toni leave her marriage behind? Did she run away to begin a new life? Or did something happen inside the home she shared with her husband and stepchildren? In Part 1 of this two-part series, we explore Toni’s life before she vanished: her marriage, devastating personal losses, career instability, and the online relationships that became a source of comfort during one of the hardest periods of her life.
