MISSING: Diane Marie Webb

 

18-year-old Diane Webb lived with her family in San Bernadino, California until 1959. In March her family would move to Dolan Springs, Arizona, and Diane would stay. She would then stay with her 16-year-old boyfriend, Bennie Webb, who would soon become her husband.

At least one time that year she stayed with her family in Arizona for a week. During the visit, she told her parents she was pregnant and that she was going to marry. Her father disapproved of the relationship, but her younger brother and mother made it to the wedding in Indio, California. 

The wedding was the last time her family saw her, but they would receive letters for several months after her wedding. The last letter was mailed on August 22, 1959, for her little sister's birthday. It included handkerchiefs that she crocheted for her. 

A letter would then arrive to Diane's family from Bennie in late 1960. He had believed that she was with them in Dolan Springs, and this confused them. They would send a letter back asking what had happened and when she had left. 

On January 5, 1961, he responded back stating that he hadn't heard from or seen Diane in a very long time. That he had given her $100 and put her on a bus to Dolan Springs. He stated she wrote one letter to him after she left and stated she had a miscarriage. Bennie recommended they to talk to a friend of Diane's in California to see if she knew something.

In August of 1961 Diane or someone else using her name visited a dentist's office in California. This was the last possible sign of her. 

Diane's family suspects that her husband had done something to her. Her father went to Bennies hometown in New Mexico where Bennies brother was a police chief. He was searching to see if he can find information on Diane. Allegedly Bennies brother chased him out of town. 

Bennie is still alive, but is not cooperating with the police and refuses a polygraph. He allegedly never recalled marrying Diane, but their marriage certificate exists. This however seems suspicious but does not mean he is guilty. 

Diane is a white female and was 18-years-old at the time. She's 5'2" to 5'4" and 110 to 120lbs. She has brown hair and grey eyes. She was pregnant at the time but may have had a miscarriage, one of her breasts was larger than the other, she has freckles on the tip of her nose, and her ears are pierced.

MISSING: Conradina Olson

 

Carl and Conradina Olson

In 1910 38-year-old Conradina Olson left Brookfield, Wisconsin to go to a doctor's appointment. She said goodbye to her husband and four children at the train station before she left.

She may have run away from her husband. It was said he was verbally abusive and at this time she couldn't divorce him. A psychic contacted a family member telling them that Conradina was killed near the train station or tracks. They believe that Carl had something to do with her disappearance as he was also gone for a period of time around the time she disappeared.

For a period of time it was thought possible the Jane Doe found in Ellis, Missouri could have been her through later investigation and the same psychic saying Ellis had something to do with it. The woman found in Ellis though was found in 1877 and couldn't have been Conradina.

Ultimately her fate is unknown and her case may never be solved.

MISSING: Leila Lewis Bryan and Mary Rachel Bryan

On May 10, 1941 mother and daughter 36-year-old Leila Bryan and 4-year-old Mary Rachel Bryan went to the beach. They arrived back at their Carolina Beach, North Carolina home at 6:30 p.m. She started dinner. At the time her husband Edis Clarence Bryan or E.C. was making plans to pour a concrete floor in the basement.

At 9 p.m. Leila left with Mary. She initially was going to go out to buy groceries or a bra down the street. She brought Mary Rachel with her because she insisted on going with her. For some reason, she left her rings on the sink. At the time she was driving her husband's black 1935 Ford Model A coupe with 1941 North Carolina License plate number 219-056.

E.C. had gone to bed while she was gone. Later that night Barry Lewis, Leila's brother, and one of his friends came over to the home. He asked  E.C. where the girls were. E.C. said they never came home from their trip. Barry and his friend went out to search for his sister and niece. They couldn't find them.

E.C. called the police and reported the girls missing. This was when the community and police joined the search. The search included the beach, waterways, and wooded areas. The car was low in gas when she left so it was possible that she went to get gas. One station attendant reported that they saw a woman around 10 and they were pretty sure it was her. This tip led nowhere though.

The car was never recovered and the two were declared dead in 1948. Police did not believe that Leila left on her own accord. It could be possible that the girls met foul play and she and Mary Rachel were dead.

Police suspected Leila's husband for their disappearance. They suspected that he killed his wife and daughter and then buried their bodies. It was initially believed that they were buried under their concrete basement floor at the beach cottage on Raleigh Ave., but it was dug up in 2009 and remains were not found. It's possible their bodies were buried elsewhere though if it was him.

Leila may be spelled as Lela is a white female and was 36-years-old at the time. She was 5'7" to 5'8" and 120 lbs. She has black hair and grey eyes. She was wearing a summer print housedress with a green turban, possibly a sweater and white and brown shoes.

Mary Rachel is a white female and was 4 at the time. She was 3'0" and 40 lbs at the time. She has dark brown hair and brown eyes.
