Kristen Sevey: 本集讲述了1984年新罕布什尔州康科德15岁女孩Shirley Ann 'Tippy' McBride失踪的案件。Tippy性格独立,曾逃学、吸毒,后搬去姐姐Donna家居住。7月13日晚,Tippy出门后失踪,留下所有个人物品。警方最初认为她是离家出走,但家人坚称她没有理由这样做。调查过程中,警方采访了很多人,包括Tippy的前男友、罪犯和摩托车手等。两个月后,康科德发生一起15岁女孩被绑架强奸案,引发人们对Tippy案件的关注。 五年后,另一篇文章报道了除了Tippy,其他失踪儿童都已找到。Tippy的父母提供了赏金,并刊登广告寻找她。调查中出现了一个关键人物:Walter Davis。他的妹妹发现他试图焚烧一些潮湿的衣物,这些衣物与Tippy最后穿的衣服相似。Walter承认强奸了一个女孩,并将尸体扔进河里。警方将衣物交给Tippy家人辨认,确认是Tippy的衣服。Walter拒绝接受测谎仪测试,而Donna接受并通过了测试。 Walter的犯罪记录不明确,但警方知道他吸胶水。尽管警方怀疑Walter与Tippy失踪有关,但他从未被指控。几十年后,证据重新被发现,警方告知Tippy家人他们相信Walter是凶手。他们计划对衣物进行DNA检测,但Walter已于2003年去世。Tippy的前男友也一直是嫌疑人,但他没有配合调查。1985年,在Bear Brook州立公园发现一桶装有成年女性和女孩尸体的桶,但与Tippy无关。1996年,Tippy的家人申请并获得了法院的判决,宣布Tippy死亡。Tippy的父母相继去世,她的妹妹Robin继续寻找真相,并与Walter的妹妹Catherine会面。Catherine对事件的记忆模糊,但承认Walter可能对Tippy下手。Robin患有绝症,担心自己去世后没有人会继续寻找Tippy。 Shirley McBride的家人: 我们一直坚信Tippy不会无缘无故失踪,她与家人关系密切,没有理由离家出走。我们积极配合警方调查,提供了赏金,并四处寻找线索,从未放弃希望找到Tippy。 Walter Davis: (未提供直接证词,仅通过他人转述得知其行为和供词) 警方: 我们最初认为Tippy是离家出走,但随着调查深入,我们发现情况并非如此。我们调查了很多人,包括Tippy的前男友、Walter Davis等。我们相信Walter Davis对Tippy的失踪负有责任,但由于证据不足和Walter的死亡,我们无法对其进行起诉。Tippy的前男友也一直是嫌疑人,但他没有配合调查。 Tippy McBride的前男友: (未提供直接证词,仅知其一直是嫌疑人,且没有配合警方调查)

Shownotes Transcript

1984 - Concord, New Hampshire.

Shirley Ann McBride, known as Tippy, mysteriously vanished without a trace during the summer of 1984. She was 15, and had recently relocated from rural Pittsfield, NH to her sister Donna's residence in nearby Concord.

On the evening of Friday, July 13th, 1984, Tippy left to collect payment for her babysitting job but never arrived at her destination. Initially, the police considered her a runaway, assuming she would resurface soon, given her history. However, this time was different. Tippy left behind all her personal belongings, had no money, and hadn't informed anyone of her plans.

Months went by with no sign of Tippy. Despite numerous tips, the offering of rewards, and her family's relentless pursuit of answers, Tippy's whereabouts remained unknown.

Then, a tip reached the police station regarding a young man attempting to burn damp clothes that shockingly resembled the outfit Tippy was last seen wearing. Could Tippy McBride have fallen victim to foul play?
