A viewer, Sandy Detain, contacted the Hinkle family saying she had found Martha. She had lived with the Meeks for three years, but was later taken in by the Jackson family. In 1940, she married James Thomas and they had four sons. Tragically, she passed away just weeks before the Hinkle family found her. However, in July 1991, they were reunited with her sons.
