The Other Woman Who Disappeared from DFW Airport

The disappearance of a mother who left her 12-year-old boy at DFW Airport Friday morning reminds me of another woman who vanished from the airport several years ago.

While both are mysteries, the case of 71-year-old Margie Dabney is especially puzzling.

She wandered off from her scheduled flight and simply vanished on December 7, 2001.

Witnesses last saw her walking along the service road and after that, she was never seen again.

At 5 foot 2 and 95 pounds, she suffered from Alzheimer’s and diabetes.

It certainly makes you wonder what happened to her.  All these years later, still nobody knows.

Today’s disappearance of the mother is troubling, but a little less mysterious.  According to surveillance video, Jolanda Newberg walked away from Terminal A on her own, ditching her 12-year-old son when he stopped to use the restroom.

I am sure police will end up finding her, and hopefully she will get whatever mental help she needs.

As for Margie Dabney, that will probably be a mystery that is never solved.
