Dr. Melanie Nadler Litt, a dentist serving metro Atlanta, was reported missing on October 13 after she failed to arrive at her practice in Dallas, Georgia. Her phone was found at home, but both her wallet and car were missing.
Authorities and friends grew alarmed when she couldn’t be reached, and her disappearance quickly drew growing attention. A welfare check confirmed she wasn’t home.
Nearly a week later, on October 19, she was located — alive and apparently unharmed — when a former patient recognized her roaming near the Town Center Mall in Marietta and called 911. Police confirmed she was safe and said there were no signs of foul play.
But the plot thickens: the man she was found with is Anthony Nester of Kennesaw — the same man whose wife has also been worried sick after he didn’t return home on October 11. According to his wife, he claimed he was “hanging with the guys” that day. When he didn’t show, she grew suspicious and searched his devices. What she discovered changed everything.
She says she uncovered a secret Yahoo email account linking Dr. Nadler and her husband — and that the two had been carrying on an affair for over a decade. Shockingly, she claims both she and her husband had been patients of Dr. Nadler, which makes the betrayal all the more personal.
In her own words, the last known location ping from Anthony’s phone placed him at Dr. Nadler’s home — right before the phone went silent. Meanwhile, Cobb County police say Anthony left of his own accord and that, as an adult no longer considered missing or endangered, there’s little they can do.
Since the video and photos of Dr. Nadler and Nester together leaked, Anthony’s wife says she’s been inundated with harassing calls and texts. She hopes the attention will ease. She’s had no direct contact with her husband, nor any explanation.
What remains unclear: whether Dr. Nadler left with Anthony willingly, or if something more sinister was at play. Police have declined to release further details, citing the ongoing sensitivity of the situation.
Whatever the full truth is — about the affair, the disappearances, and what really happened in those dark hours — this case already has all the ingredients of a real-life thriller. Let me know if you want me to dig into more police records, interview transcripts, or just follow the next move in this tangled story.
