The McMinnville coroner’s office listed Mary Boone’s cause of death as a broken neck. She was fifteen years old. Authorities believe that Wayne Boone killed Mary in a fit of rage after she snuck out to attend a Halloween party—the last time anyone saw her alive. Unable to face what he’d done, Boone set out on a mission to “find” her and bring her home again. The abductions began less than a month after his daughter’s death.
