The Mysterious Death of Deborah Waggoner...

Weird Salad Media
About this episode
On the night of April 17th in 1990, Deborah Waggoner had what seemed like an ordinary plan. Around 7 PM, she left her South Greensburg home in her faded green 1976 Chevrolet Malibu. She told her boyfriend, Charles Stader, that she was headed to the nearby coin-operated Carbon Car Wash to clean her car. It was close by, so Charles didn’t expect her to be gone for more than an hour. Before she left, he’d asked her to grab a pack of cigarettes on her way home, and she agreed. That was the last time anyone saw Deborah alive.

If you have any information about the muder of Deborah Waggoner, no matter how small it may seem, you can reach out to PSP Tips at (800) 472-8477, psptipsemail@gmail.com, or visit their Facebook page dedicated to sharing updates and gathering information.
