Grieving Woman Learns Her Missing Husband Is Alive And Has Been Covering Up A Chilling Crime For 23 Years

Words cannot describe the pain, and loss one feels when the person they loved the most goes missing. You have no idea whether they are still alive or not, what exactly happened to them, and, most importantly, what was the reason for their disappearance.

“How do you walk away from your own children? How do you turn your back?” were the questions one mother was asking herself every day when her husband left her and their two sons to survive on their own.

Then, 23 years later, she finally learned what happened to her husband. When the police revealed what he had been doing for over two decades, she couldn’t believe that this cruel man was once a husband and a father of her children.

Grieving Family

One day, Linda’s husband, Richard Hoagland, walked out of the door and never returned home. Linda and her two sons were in a complete shock. Richard never showed any signs of depression or being unhappy.

He always enjoyed spending time with his sons and wife. Linda immediately informed the police of her husband’s disappearance, and a few days later, she received an update on Richard’s case.

Dead End

The police located Richard’s car in a parking lot of the Indiana Airport, although none of the airlines had him recorded as a passenger. The authorities had no other choice but to tell Linda the truth.

But there was something else that they wanted to discuss with her first.

Blaming Linda

Upon their arrival, the police began questioning Linda about taking part in her husband’s evil plan. Linda was in dismay. She couldn’t understand what the authorities were even talking about.

Then the police told her something she would never forget.

Not Giving Up

It took Linda a minute to process what just happened. The police continued pressuring her in admitting the truth of being a part of her husband’s plan all along.

She decided to hire a lawyer, who explained everything after analyzing her husband’s case.
