Who’s in the Bag? Meet Florence Charleston!
Way back in 1978, someone happened upon a garment bag in a remote area of northern Nevada. But this wasn’t any sample sale reject or forgotten party dress. Oh no, it contained a woman’s heavily decayed remains. Talk about finding skeletons in your closet, right? 😱 And the spookiest part? The identity of the victim stayed unknown for a whopping 45 years.
Fast forward to 2023, and ta-da! Modern DNA wizardry has finally ID’d our lady in the luggage. Ladies and gents, meet Florence Charleston, a gal from Cleveland, Ohio, who was last seen moving to Portland, Oregon in her late 60s.
The Journey from Ohio to a Nevada Ditch… But How?
Here’s where things get sketchy 🕵️♀️. Just how did Florence, newly settled in Oregon, end up dead and stashed away 535 miles from her new home? The police are still scratching their heads on this one, and so are we.
Florence’s story takes a strange turn in the early ’70s when she left Ohio with a new boyfriend for the Pacific Northwest. After that, nothing, nada, zilch. No word from Aunt Dolly – a childhood nickname that her niece Diane Liggitt recalls fondly. All these years, Diane wondered if Florence was happy, safe… or not.
This tale of lost and found leaves us with more questions than answers. A mid-life adventure, a mysterious boyfriend, a cross-country move, and then… silence? It’s almost like the script for a Hollywood thriller, except it’s chillingly real.
🤔 So, what do you think? How did Florence’s Pacific Northwest dream end up as a decades-old cold case in Nevada? And why did it take 45 years to find out?
