What happened to Andy Puglisi? Part one. This is a true crime, local history, and storytelling podcast. I write about crimes, yes, I set the scene, connect story themes, I talk about things that happened here, in Massachusetts and New England. This episode is about murdered and missing children, one in particular, about child sexual abuse, the attitudes among the public at large in regard to this topic, and the part that the Catholic Church has played in the serial abuse of children. If this is something that will hurt you, impede your own healing, or offend you, it may not be something you wish to listen to. This often goes unsaid, but this podcast is not for children.
Andy Puglisi vanished on August 22, 1976* from his neighborhood in Lawrence, Massachusetts. He was two weeks away from his eleventh birthday. His case remains one of the greatest mysteries in the state's history. Andy disappeared long before the many advances were made to assist in locating missing children in the hours immediately following an abduction.
*Reposted new audio with edited date to reflect the day Andy was last seen.
The search for Andy began on August 22, 1976.
To this day, the question remains unanswered: What happened to Andy Puglisi?
