In a bizarre incident in the US state of Wisconsin, a woman named Audrey Backeberg, who had been missing for 60 years, was finally located.

However, she has expressed her desire to keep her identity and current location confidential.

Audrey Backeberg left her home in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, in 1962 at the age of 20 and disappeared. Allegedly, due to a forced marriage and domestic violence, she decided to leave home. Reports of physical abuse were documented with the police.

In January 2025, Investigator Isaac Hansen reopened the case, digitized documents, and conducted interviews with relevant individuals. Using family data obtained from Ancestry.com, he identified a possible address.

A deputy was sent to the related area, and the woman was traced. Within 10 minutes, Audrey spoke with Hansen for 45 minutes, during which she confirmed her identity and stated that she is now happy and has "no regrets".

Audrey chose to keep her identity hidden for the sake of her prosperous life. She expressed her wish to keep her current location a secret, and the police have respected her request.
