Mother missing 52 years

   The daughter of an Alaskan native who was 8 years old when her mother disappeared in 1961 never gave up hope of one day finding her or her body.

   Her father, now deceased, was a suspect and the back yard was dug up, but no remains were ever found.

   The daughter convinced authorities to reopen the 52 year old case and put photos in all of the free papers. Then a woman called her and said she thinks the woman is her mother, too.

    Her mother was the same woman and she is now 77 years old. The daughter is saving up to go visit her mother and plans to just give her a big hug.
