On a brisk March evening, 50 year old Jim McDonnell mysteriously vanished on a walk home from a friends house in New York. Prior to his disappearance, Jim told his friend that he had a bad headache and the short 15 minute walk home would help him feel better

Anne McDonnell, Jim's wife, called police around 2AM when her husband never returned home. Jim was a church going, honest and devoted husband so detectives immediately ruled out the idea that he ran off. Police believed something terrible must've happened to Jim McDonnell

For 15 years, Anne McDonald lived in limbo. Detectives searched everywhere. Hospitals, morgues but there was no trace of Jim anywhere. In 1976, Anne had Jim McDonnell legally declared dead but still kept hope that one day he could return 

And one Christmas in 1985, Anne's doorbell rang. She opened up her door to find her husband Jim standing on her doorstep

But how? What happened to Jim McDonnell that fateful night in 1971? Where had he been the past 15 years? And what finally brought him home?

This case is one of the most remarkable & truly unbelievable missing persons cases in history!
