Circumstances of Disappearance
Audrey married Ronald Backeberg in 1957, when she was 15 years old. The couple had two children together and resided on Vine Street in Reedsburg, Wisconsin.
Audrey and Ronald's marriage was troubled and there were allegations of abuse. On July 4, 1962 she filed a complaint. It indicated that she had been beaten in the head -- that her husband had threatened to kill her, and he had loaded two guns and put them in the trunk of his car.
Three days later she went to pick up a paycheck, leaving her children and husband at home. Audrey never returned home and has not been heard from again.
The family's babysitter told investigators that she and Audrey took a greyhound bus to Indiana. The 14-year-old came back, but said Audrey had run away. Audrey's family members insisted that she would not abandon her children.
Ronald passed a polygraph exam conducted after Audrey's disappearance and has maintained his innocence in her disappearance.
Investigators have reopened the case and are bringing in a specially trained forensic canine. A confidential informant has come forward, pointing detectives to a rural area where Audrey's remains may be.
