Tammy Lynn Leppert was a beautiful young woman who had grown up competing in child beauty pageants and as she got older began to get into modeling as well as acting. She had landed a small role in the 1983 teen comedy "Spring Break" and went to an out-of-town party after production on the movie wrapped. However when she came back from that party, her behavior from that point on was very odd. She began to feel paranoid and claimed that someone was out to kill her. There was speculation that something occurred at the party that Tammy Lynn wasn't supposed to witness. Her mother did what she could to get her help, but nothing could be determined with her. On July 6, 1983, Tammy left her home with a friend and said she would be back soon. She would never be seen again. What happened to Tammy Lynn Leppert? Did she voluntarily run away? Was there any truth to her paranoia? Or was she potentially a victim of a killer known as "The Beauty Queen Killer"? The answers to those questions are still unknown.
