Woman's whereabouts still unknown after 27 years

BEDFORD, Ind. (WTW) — Luella Potts holds on to her telephone number with great resolve.
She hopes someday those seven numbers behind her 812 area code might translate into the end of a nightmare.
She hopes the daughter she has neither seen nor heard from since February 1985 will dial that number to say, "Mom, I'm alive."
Some might ask Potts why her daughter, Terri Yingst Schlatter, would call home all these years later if she hasn't bothered to call the number so far.
Maybe she wouldn't. But Potts doesn't want to close that possible avenue of communication by changing her phone number.
"I will never get it changed," Potts said from her living room in Bedford. "When I came here (from a home in Springville), I had my phone transferred to my cell phone because of Terri. I will never have any other number."
The family's resolve to be accessible goes beyond Potts' determination. Yingst's brother David Potts, who is seven years younger and lives in Bedford, is as eager to hear from her as Potts is and vowed he would take his mother's phone number if anything happens to Potts. And the same resolve applies to Yingst's sister Kerri, also of Bedford. (more...)
