I’ve been informed of this article that went out yesterday: Carlene Sessions Tengelsen‘s mother died on December 21, at the age of 83. This is her obituary, which says Carlene preceded her in death, along with another daughter. Carlene still has two living siblings though.
I wish the NCMEC would make a poster for her. I wish we could find out what happened. It’s been almost 45 years, and Carlene would be sixty years old in the unlikely event that she’s still alive.

This is sad to hear. I grew up in the city from which Carlene was taken. In fact, my grandfather actually knew her mother. Every time I drive by the (now mostly vacant) shopping center, I think about her and her family. RIP to her mom.
I always imagine that when the parents/family members of these missing people pass on themselves, that they are shown exactly what happened to their loved one(s) and their souls are forever healed. May she rest in peace.
