The haunting disappearance of Linda Price tears at the heart of a Kentucky family as whispered secrets circulate but answers remain elusive.
Mary Elizabeth never imagined she would hear news about her missing daughter from inmates at the Lincoln County Jail where she worked. “Miss Mary, we have family out there. We can’t talk to you about anything,” they told her after making cryptic comments suggesting they knew what happened to Linda. This devastating experience eventually forced Mary to leave a job she loved because she couldn’t bear working “beside these people that know what’s happened to my daughter.”
Born in 1983 in Danville, Kentucky, Linda Price was a loving mother of two who enjoyed simple pleasures – skating at the local rink, playing with dolls as a child, and surrounding herself with her favorite color, blue. As the only girl among three brothers, she learned to be tough early in life. But toughness wasn’t enough to shield her from the grip of addiction that eventually led to her cycling through local jails and distancing herself from loved ones.
The last confirmed contact with Linda was a phone call with her father on June 8, 2015. Her son Chase, just 12 years old at the time, initially didn’t grasp the severity of his mother’s disappearance given her history of being “in and out of the picture.” Years later, he’s still searching for answers alongside his grandmother, who carries the weight of wondering if she could have done more. “I carry a lot of blame that I wasn’t there for her,” Mary Elizabeth shares, her grief still raw after nearly a decade.
