Yes. Very important. So now that we know a little bit about who the Martin family was, let's talk about the day of the disappearance, which was Sunday, December 7th, 1958.

So let's let's break down the day of the disappearance. At 1030 a.m., the morning before the Martins leave for their ill-fated trip, the Evans family stops by with their children. The Evans are actually second cousins of Barbara Martin, and the families would often spend time together there.
