It was a sunny morning in June, 1977, and there were no clouds in sight. Charlotte, or Char as her loved ones called her, walked out of her home on the Windward side of Oahu. She was pushing a stroller, which held her 5mo old son, Marx. Char walked to a local bus stop, and then seemingly vanished into thin air. Hours later, only the stroller would be found. That would be the last sign of the duo for nearly 35 years.
Where were Char & baby Marx?
