Young Triplets Vanished in 1981, 30 Years Later Their Mom Makes a Shocking Discovery

Young Triplets Vanished in 1981 — 30 Years Later Their Mom Makes a Shocking Discovery…On the night of June 14, 1981, the small town of Willow Creek was shaken by an event that would haunt it for decades. Inside a modest white house on Cedar Lane, Margaret Hayes, a 29-year-old single mother, tucked her three-year-old triplets — Ethan, Ella, and Evan — into bed.
