Hanson said Wisn that Backeberg’s sister had an ancestry.com account that was linked to an address connected to it.

“So I called the local sheriff department and said:” Hey, this lady lives at this address. Do you have someone, you can just drop by? “… ten minutes later she called me and we talked for 45 minutes,” he said.

Backeberg originally went at home due to an abusive husband, but it is unclear why she did not stay in touch for all these years, Hanson said.

He would not show what you discussed exactly in this 45-minute call and said: “I said Audrey, I would keep it private. She had her reasons for leaving.”

Despite the important challenges that many cold cases apply, this resolution underlines both the importance of continued work and the commitment of the sheriff office for the provision of answers for families and the community.”

Detective Isaac Hanson told the local news channel WISN: “I think she was only removed and, you know, moved on by things and did her own thing and led her life. She sounded happy. Incorrectly into her decision. No regret.”
