The discovery of Doris Wood’s remains in a Corbin storage unit earlier this month ended a 16-year search for the woman.
Wood was reported missing from Delaware in 1997. The storage unit where her bones were found was previously owned by her husband, Robert Wood, who died in May. The couple’s daughter, Jennifer, was 9 when her mom disappeared. She told Delaware Online that her father always told her that Doris abandoned them.

One day, Jennifer said she was talking to her father about her mother, when Robert looked his daughter in the eye and asked, “You don’t really think I killed her, do you?”
She said, “I replied, ‘of course not’, “But that was probably the most terrified I’ve ever been in my entire life.”
Two years later, they relocated to Alabama. When Jennifer would try to discuss her mother, she says her dad would say she abandoned them. She told the paper, “he mentioned a few times that she was visiting a mental hospital before her disappearance and that she was bipolar and possibly a schizophrenic.”
Jennifer says, out of fear, she eventually ran away with her boyfriend, never seeing or speaking to her father again.
