About this episode
1984 - Concord, New Hampshire.
Shirley Ann McBride, known as Tippy, mysteriously vanished without a trace during the summer of 1984. She was 15, and had recently relocated from rural Pittsfield, NH to her sister Donna's residence in nearby Concord.
On the evening of Friday, July 13th, 1984, Tippy left to collect payment for her babysitting job but never arrived at her destination. Initially, the police considered her a runaway, assuming she would resurface soon, given her history. However, this time was different. Tippy left behind all her personal belongings, had no money, and hadn't informed anyone of her plans.
Months went by with no sign of Tippy. Despite numerous tips, the offering of rewards, and her family's relentless pursuit of answers, Tippy's whereabouts remained unknown.
Then, a tip reached the police station regarding a young man attempting to burn damp clothes that shockingly resembled the outfit Tippy was last seen wearing. Could Tippy McBride have fallen victim to foul play?
