Family is a great happiness. And no less enormous responsibility, after all, relatives are great at making you angry so that you want run away somewhere into the wilderness and forget about everything in the world.





Then, of course, come back, because how else? However, not everyone thinks so.

This controversial story began in 1965 in Nebraska (USA). And she got an unexpected ending 44 years later.

Jacqueline

Jacqueline's life cannot be called happy. In the family besides the girls had eight more children, so attention was understandable to everyone Not much was given to the reasons. The expected result was early pregnancy of a very young girl. She married the child's father, but the forced marriage did not become happy. By the age of 18, a young mother divorced and moved in with her sister and her two kids. Jacqueline Rhines-Krackman complained to a relative that she was tormented by persistent fatigue and depression.

At the end of September 1965, she went to the wedding of a loved one friend Sally from Glenwood (Iowa), asking her sister to look after children. But she did not return home at the appointed time. Scared relatives contacted the police. The investigation yielded unexpected results: the only girl who went out in that period Glenwood was married, no Jacqueline knew. And she had a name other. The young mother seemed to have sunk into the water.

A month later, a similar incident occurred with a large family by father Melvin Uphof. The 31-year-old had a great day with his family. They were having fun, roller skating. In the evening Melvin's wife Myrna I was putting the baby to bed, and my husband decided to go to the nearest store. No one saw him again. Mirna with four children, the youngest of whom It was only six months, I was left alone.

Happiness for two



Years passed. No one believed in the discovery of any evidence anymore. business. When suddenly in 2009 it took a new unexpected turn. IN An anonymous person came to the State Police Department. The letter stated that Jacqueline Raines-Kruckman and Melvin Uphof are alive and well and living under by other names near Nebraska.

The policeman decided to work out the signal and called the indicated phone number. An elderly couple (Melvin was 75 at the time, and Jacqueline 63 years old) confirmed the tip and asked them not to disturb, citing privacy. Interest in relatives and grown-ups They did not show it to the children. Due to the lack of evidence of a crime, the police The 44-year-old disappearance case was closed.



Interestingly, there really was a connection between them: Melvin worked for Jacqueline's ex-husband for some time. That is, they were are familiar, but neither the relatives nor the police have a possible close connection considered.

Relatives and friends of both escapees were amazed. Alone supported Melvin and Jacqueline's right to a quiet life. Others were in rage, because people voluntarily gave up the most important thing in life - children and ignored parental responsibilities and responsibility.

Do you think a person, even a very tired and exhausted person, has the right to make such a decision?
