The North Carolina mother found last week after missing for more than 24 years ago had a reason for leaving her family behind and she won't be facing criminal charges, according to authorities. Speaking about the location of missing mom Michele Hundley Smith, Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page told Us Weekly "there were some domestic issues" happening in the home "prior to her leaving." Page said Michele, who vanished back in 2001, did not discuss those domestic issues in any specific terms.
