The wife of an Alabama minister missing for more than four months has been located by police unharmed and working under an alias at a fast-food restaurant in New York state, authorities said Monday.
Louisiana police located Mary Byrne Smith alive and well in New York state on Friday. The 30-year-old kindergarten teacher had been working under an assumed name at a fast-food restaurant.
"We know it’s her," Bossier City Police Chief Mike Halphen said at a press conference Monday. "She did not want us to disclose the reasons why she left, and she did not want us to disclose where she is living."
She does not face criminal charges, he said.
"People have their reasons for wanting to start a new life and that was her choosing," Halphen said. "And again, we encouraged her very, very hard to contact her family and at least talk with her children and we believe that she will."

Not Guilty!
Some of these preachers need to consider whether their wives are cut out for that life before they go into it.
Nutcase.
Given the odd ways in which women are choosing to exit the field lately, “Southern minister’s wife” must be a suboptimal career choice. ;)
Bet $5 that some internet chat room affair had something to do with it.
I don’t understand how a woman can leave her kids. Husband, maybe, but not her kids.
she must have hated life. fast food waitress in nyc? she must be happier because that kind of earning would be a serious struggle for just about anyone.
now call you kids!!
i’ll add, now that it has some attention, expect a made for tv movie about it.
Well, she just got a raise, thanks to the ‘rats.
Somebody ask her if she works with Lisa Stebic.
Now all that is left to make this the ultimate f-over is for her to demand custody of the children, spousal and child support, and get it.
This person should spend time in jail.
I suppose that’s better than shooting her husband in the back with a shotgun in the bedroom and running off with the kids to make up a cock-and-bull story.
Both parents are responsible for their kids...no-one should be allowed to just walk away from their kids.
“This person should spend time in jail.”
Charge?
Better not be late for dinner...might have to arrest ya’...
That was my first thought too. Blast the husband in the head with a shotgun while he's sleeping then run off to the beach with the kids. Geez...
Only half?
Didn’t read past the excerpt so does the rest of the article explain how the Police from Bossier City, LA come to be involved and found her? ...
