Wisconsin woman's 63-year-old disappearance resolved; found alive

The decades-old cold case of Audrey Backeberg, a Wisconsin mother who disappeared from Reedsburg in 1962 at age 20, has been resolved after investigators confirmed she is alive and living out of state. Authorities determined that Backeberg's disappearance was voluntary and not the result of foul play or criminal activity. The breakthrough came this year when the Sauk County Sheriff's Office re-examined the case by reviewing evidence and re-interviewing witnesses, which uncovered new information. The Sheriff's Office and investigators were praised for their persistence and dedication to providing answers and closure to families and the community, highlighting the importance of continuing to revisit unresolved cases.
