It was a little more than 30 years ago that Kerry O’Brien-Krueger vanished from her Burlington home without a trace.
The 31-year-old wife and mother of a 3-year-old daughter hasn’t been heard from since.
Was it foul play? Did she sneak off and start a new life? Theories abound, but none of them give her surviving family members what they’re looking for – closure.
The case is the subject of a recent podcast.
