New investigation aims to shed light on missing person case 75 years later
SHELBY, Ohio (WTVG) - Whatever happened to Mary Jane? Its a question that has haunted one family for decades. Now, a new investigation aims to shed light on a missing person case dating back to 1945.
Mary Jane (Croft) VanGilder moved from Fairmont, West Virginia, to Plymouth, Ohio, during World War II. She left behind five children, sending them war bonds she earned from her job as a civilian forklift operator at the Wilkins Air Force Depot in Shelby.
In 1945, Mary Jane filed for divorce, quit her job, and was never heard from again.
Misty James, who lives in Georgia, and Mindy Wilson, who lives in South Carolina, never met their grandmother. Now, they are hoping new technology could help solve a mystery dating back 75 years.
