Deep dives
The Disappearance of Mary and Suzanne Raker
On Labor Day in 1974, 15-year-old Mary Raker and her 12-year-old sister Suzanne left for a shopping trip, but they never returned. Initially, their family assumed they were running late, but as the hours passed, concern turned into panic. Rita, their mother, described the mixed emotions of fear and frustration as she began making calls to friends and neighbors, only to find no one had seen the girls. The search intensified when their father reported them missing to the police, but the initial response from law enforcement was lackluster, labeling the situation as a case of two runaway girls.
