Survival and Loss: Mary and Beth Stauffer

Survival and Loss: Mary and Beth Stauffer

Mary Stauffer was a schoolteacher and mother living a quiet life in Saint Paul, Minnesota. So when she and her eight-year-old daughter Beth disappeared in May 1980, it made no sense.

What followed was a fifty-three-day ordeal of captivity at the hands of a man whose obsession had been building for years. But why?

As police searched for answers, another family was facing an unthinkable loss, unaware their tragedy was connected to the same man.

This episode explores the kidnapping, the stalled missing persons investigation, a child’s murder, and the rare story of survival that followed.

A true crime case about control, endurance, and a mother who never stopped fighting to bring her child home.
