Ann Bernadette Fulton, known as Bea, was 41 and a mother of four when she was last seen at her Bridgewater, New Jersey, home on April 23, 1971. Her husband, Thomas Fulton, returned to their house at 5 Frohlin Drive to find her gone; he initially thought she would come back but later contacted police.

About three weeks after she was last seen, Ann’s car was found in the Bernardsville train station parking lot, roughly 7.6 miles from her home, but station employees recalled neither seeing her nor selling her a ticket. Thomas said Ann had battled depression, received inpatient treatment in 1970, and struggled with alcoholism she kept hidden; he also said she sometimes left the house while he was at work but he didn’t know where she went.

Years passed with no contact, and in the 1990s Thomas had her legally declared dead. The circumstances of her disappearance remain unknown. Did anyone in the Bridgewater or Bernardsville areas remember seeing Ann or her car in April or May 1971?
