Husband deals with the anguish of missing wife

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Park Kingery thought the worst when his wife, who had been fighting depression, left their house leaving behind only a short note in September.

Twelve weeks later, he has realized not knowing anything can be more painful than his worst fears.

Tammy Kingery has not been seen since leaving her Edgefield County home without her keys, purse or cellphone on Sept. 20. Authorities say her credit and debit cards haven’t been used.

Park Kingery says his wife was depressed and he feared she had harmed herself when she first left home, leaving behind a note that she was going for a walk.

Tammy Kingery is one of more than 84,000 people entered into the FBI’s database of missing people since it was developed in 1975 who have never been removed.
