Tracy Gilpin // 542

In October of 1986, a 15-year-old girl attended a friend’s house party in the coastal town of Kingston, Massachusetts after babysitting. After dark, she left the party on foot, heading to pick up cigarettes from the store. But the following day, she was nowhere to be found… For weeks, her disappearance gripped the tight-knit community, until her body was discovered in the woods nearby. With another missing girl, a depraved, suspicious local bible school teacher, and a recent confession, the case would unravel into one of Massachusetts most puzzling mysteries. This is the murder of Tracy Gilpin.
