It's a parent's biggest nightmare to lose a child.  Not knowing where they disappeared to?  I can't even imagine.  Here's Sheila's story.

I hate seeing stories like these, but there have been instances where someone has been missing for years and authorities finally close the case many, many years later.  I really hope this is the outcome for Sheila's case.
