'Someone knows': 39 years later, the search for Carla Beth Anderson continues

WADENA — For 39 years, one question has remained unanswered for the family of Carla Beth Anderson: What happened to her? Anderson was just 23 years old when she disappeared from the Greenwood Apartments in Wadena on Nov. 13, 1987. Nearly four decades later, her family is still searching for answers, hoping that someone, somewhere, knows what happened in the days and hours surrounding her disappearance. Dan Anderson, Carla’s eldest brother, still remembers the moment he learned his sister was missing — a phone call from his mother that would change his family’s life forever. “I got a pretty panicked, frantic phone call from my mom,” Dan Anderson recalled during a Nov. 10 phone interview. Back then, Dan was working in Eagan. As soon as he learned what had happened, he and his wife, who worked for the city of Apple Valley, made the drive to Wadena. “So we talked to them for a little bit and then we drove up immediately,” he said.
