I came across an intriguing detail about Mary Ann Bagenstose’s case that I haven’t seen discussed much. In the investigations following her disappearance, police found a piece of cardboard covering a hole in her garage. This struck me as odd and got me wondering, if Jere had something to do with it, why would someone leave something so suspicious in plain sight? It's almost like it was a rushed job or perhaps even meant to mislead the investigation? The fact that Jere gave conflicting stories about the hole just adds more layers to this already complex case. Maybe some of you fellow sleuths have thoughts or theories about this particular piece of the puzzle?
Has anyone else been digging into the 1984 disappearance of Mary Ann Bagenstose? I was curious about the role the note played in the case. I find it strange that Jere, her estranged husband, initially claimed to have thrown away that critical note meant to explain her sudden absence. Years later, it turns out that note was a pivotal piece of evidence proving Jere's involvement. Seems like the case hinged on something so small yet profoundly significant. It makes you wonder how many other unsolved disappearances have similar overlooked pieces. Anyone think the note was a red flag from the beginning? Or was it just one of those details that seemed trivial until the forensic analysis came through? Would love to hear thoughts from others who’ve looked into this case!
