Days After Her 50th Birthday
In the summer of 1974, days after her 50th birthday, Connie sent letters to her family and close friends, telling them she wanted to make a fresh start in light of her mid-life crisis. Disenchanted by the way her life had turned out, Connie decided to pack her bags, get into her Volkswagen Beetle, and leave her home in Michigan. She was never seen again.
