I just finished accessing PART of the doe network. It's really depressing to see pages and pages and pages of pictures of those who have disappeared with little trace. A prayer for them all.

Some very telling details in this book IMHO:

The husbands FB Larry Bowdre says he is widowed. He is the likely suspect in her disappearance. I wonder who the boyfriend was that she planned on leaving Larry for.

<<The circumstances: Though no body has been found, police considered Bowdre’s disappearance a homicide pretty much from the start. The 39-year-old had failed to show up for work on Monday, Feb. 15, 1988. That alone was alarming because the AT&T manager had a spotless attendance record. When she still hadn’t surfaced Tuesday, her supervisor reported her missing to police. No part of her has ever surfaced. About a week after she disappeared, Bowdre’s purse turned up in a Cincinnati mailbox.

The last person known to have seen Bowdre alive was her husband of 18 years, Larry Bowdre, then a visiting professor of zoology at Miami University. The two had breakfast together at a Bob Evans. It might sound like a nice Valentine’s Day outing, but when police questioned Larry Bowdre about his wife’s disappearance, he told them she’d been having an affair and must have run off with her boyfriend.

Police confiscated more than 80 computer discs from her husband. One of the discs contained a letter to the wife of Linda’s boyfriend asking the wife for information to discourage Bowdre from continuing the affair.>>

Lots of details from her disappearance, too much to post here.
