Then she vanished.
Sheila Reynolds of The Surrey Leader reports that Johnson's daughter, now in her late fifties, found her in Yukon in northwestern Canada — 1,000 miles from their home in Surrey, British Columbia.
Johnson is alive and well. Now 77, she has four other children: three sons and a daughter.
Back in 1965 the Surrey Royal Canadian Mounter police dug up the family's yard after finding out that police learned she had gone missing years earlier than her husband had said.

She received a phone call from a woman who said that she was pretty sure the woman Evans was searching for was her mother also, which would make her and Evans half-sisters.
“I have a lot of questions. And they’re all ‘Whys?' Evans told the Leader.
