Aimee Semple McPherson Disappears - May 18, 1926

     Today in History in the year 1926, evangelist Aimee Semple MePherson disappears from a California beach. McPherson was the 'Billy Graham' of the early 20th century. Along with her disappearance was also the disappearance of a friend Kenneth Ormiston.  About a month later, they were found in New Mexico. 
   McPherson tried to make a comeback as an evangelist, but her efforts failed. But she might be remembered for something else; she baptized Marilyn Monroe.
