TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — It’s been 32 years since Linda Hershberger has seen her 18-year-old daughter, Bonnie Dages, and her 4-month-old grandson, Jeremy Dages.

Hershberger said Bonnie was smart, loved horses and had recently taken a job as a live-in nanny.

Now, that treasured teenage girl and her little boy are preserved in time in photographs after a phone call turned Hershberger’s world upside down on April 28, 1993.

“The lady she was living with and her sister-in-law called my husband and asked if Bonnie had come by that morning by any chance,” she explained.

The next day, investigators from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said they found Bonnie’s van at the Kash n’ Karry down the road.

“That changed everything,” Hershberger said. “Now it became an investigation, rather than well, maybe it’s just a girl that has some problems going on.”

Bonnie’s brother, Joseph Dages, said from that moment forward everything was different.

“We’d really like to know where they are,” he pleaded. “We’d like to know that they’re not trapped in a house, in a dungeon somewhere, alive, being tortured.”

“That’s maybe the worst part,” he continued. “Where their bodies are, we’d like to give them a grave somewhere.”

News Channel 8 reporter Nicole Rogers asked, “If Bonnie could hear you right now, what would you want her to hear from you?”.

“We never stopped looking for you and we love you and we won’t stop,” Joseph responded.
