Helen Hagnes Mintiks had it all - a wonderful husband, a fabulous life in New York City, and her dream job as a professional violinist performing at the world famous Metropolitan Opera House. On July 23, 1980, Helen was playing in the orchestra for the visiting Berlin Ballet, but after a break in the performance, Helen never returned to finish the show. Her prized possession - her violin - sat in her empty seat, while others in the orchestra wondered where she could be. When she failed to turn up by the end of the performance, no one could understand how a someone could just vanish in the middle of a performance at the Met.
