It seemed like Beverly Giannonatti had come across a stroke of luck, or at the very least, a small fortune. While a cleaning woman was going through the Deer Lodge, Mont., house of her late ex-husband in preparation for Beverly to move back in, she discovered a 25-pound bar of gold.
Its worth was estimated at $480,000, a bounty indeed in a small town where the median income hovers around $30,000. Hearing the news from her cleaning lady, the curly-haired 79-year-old went to the house immediately, presumably to retrieve the uncovered treasure.
That was on Oct. 19. Ten days later, Beverly and her 57-year-old son Greg vanished without a trace.
The last time that either of them had been seen was Oct. 28, the Montana Standard reports, when Beverly was spotted at a local restaurant with a Caucasian male of around 60 years of age. Greg was seen “in an apparent hurry” driving away from his home in a white 1995 Toyota Camry.
Neither of them have been heard from since, and their tight-knit community is reeling as it enters the fourth week of the Giannonattis’ disappearance.
“The valley has gone from frantic to just sad,” a friend of Beverly told the Montana Standard. “Who would kidnap such a lovely lady?”
