About this episode

When a 12-year-old girl disappeared from her home on a summer night in 1988, police took her father’s word that she’d run away just as she had more than once before. But more than 30 years later, there’s still no sign of the missing girl and her father’s story just isn’t adding up.

  • If you have information about the 1988 disappearance of Doreen Vincent from Wallingford, Connecticut, please contact the Wallingford Police Department Investigative Services division at (203) 294-2845.
