I've been trying to find old newspaper articles with more info. The below link quotes a 2006 article:

From the Feb.1st, 2006 Journal Patriot article:

"Mrs.McNeil's mother Jenny E. Joines of Walker Place, North Wilkesboro, said in an interview 18 months after her daughter disappeared that she didn't expect to see her alive again. Mrs.Joines, now deceased, also said Martha McNeil was the type to contact her family when she was away from home. Arthur and Martha McNeil and their two children were together when they left Mrs.Joines' home on March 18th,1984, to return to their home in the Johnston County town of Clayton. Mrs. Joines said her daughter left at that time against her wishes. She said she later learned McNeil filed a missing person report with the Clayton Police Department on March 27th,1984. They had only lived in Clayton a few months."

In the comments here, I found that her children were four and seven, and were named Justin and April.
Using that information, and the father’s name being Arthur, I found this obituary for his death in 2012. No mention of Martha at all.
