      Yes. Apparently the father suspected as much the entire time.

      Her daughter, Amanda Smith, spoke to NBC News in 2020, and spoke about her father’s theory on her mother’s disappearance.

      “He believes she just took off and left him, and us, that night,” Amanda said. “And I guess that’s possible. It’s hard to rule out that she just left all of us and started a new life. But there’s also something that nags at me, that something happened to her on her way back home.”

        I understand wanting to leave, but it’s hard to justify not giving any sign of life. This sounds like torture.

          Yes, that turns it from a mental breakdown to cruelty.

          Maybe mum has more underlying issues.
