Story Behind

About this episode

Ansley Martin got the surprise of a lifetime when a friend discovered her childhood family portrait sitting on a thrift store shelf more than 20 years after it was taken. With her parents divorced for 15 years and no one knowing how the picture ended up there, the hilarious mystery only grew when Ansley visited the store and decided she didn't even want to buy it back.

Listen For:

  • How a friend recognized Ansley and her sister in a decades-old family portrait at a thrift store
