“Missing Marsha.”  Cleveland, Tennessee 2009. Marsh Brantley went missing who left behind everything including the home her parents bought for her. Donnie Brantley was her husband who claimed that she packed up and left him. That’s why he never reported her missing. It turns out that Kelly DeLude (a hairdresser) finally called the police to report Marsha’s disappearance. No one could find her and there is no physical trace of Marsha in 2018. Donnie was asked questions in a police deposition and he “pled the 5th” numerous times. He also couldn’t recall anything on the day Marsha disappeared. She left behind her cell phone, her purse, automobile and she didn’t pack her clothing. What happened to Marsha and where is she?
