About this episode
1988 - Lawrence, Massachusetts.
On the afternoon of September, 12, 1988, a railyard worker for B&M Railroad in Lawrence, MA made a horrifying discovery on the tracks: the body of 11-year-old Melissa Ann Tremblay who was missing from Salem, NH.
Investigators quickly realized this was no train accident—that something more sinister happened to the young girl—and the killer tried to cover up his crime by staging the gruesome scene.
For decades the case was cold… until April of 2022, when a former corrections officer was arrested at his home in Alabama. Marvin “Skip” McClendon, Jr went to trial in December 2023… But did investigators get the right man?
