About this episode

When 25-year old Nadine Mendonça went to her favorite hang out in downtown Fall River, Massachusetts for a casual night out, neither she nor her family could’ve expected it would end the way it did. 

To this day, Nadine’s family is still trying to figure out exactly what happened that July night in 1991, and after over 30 years, where exactly Nadine could be now. 

  • If you have any information about the 1991 disappearance of Nadine Mendonça, please contact Massachusetts State Police Lt. Ann Marie Robertson at (508) 961-1918 or submit an anonymous tip by texting “Bristol” to 274-637.
