Helen Dalton has been gone longer than she was alive. Her children are grown, have moved on, so why is it so important for police to keep digging to find out what happened to her? The story of a young girl from Surry County, North Carolina might provide clues to why, when it comes to stories like Helen’s, you should “Never say never.”

The day Helen Dalton seemed to simply vanish, leaving behind not just her husband but her two children, never seemed to make sense to investigators. There was no logic to why she might leave, if that’s what really happened. And then, years after Helen disappeared, some phone calls came into the Greensboro Police Department, anonymous calls, but they both had the same message: Dig deep.

Helen Dalton had no reason to go anywhere. She was just 52-years-old, married with two teenage children whom she adored.   But, one day without any notice she was just gone. There were certainly people the police wanted to look at, people who the police believed knew where Helen was, so why was it so hard to find her?
