In the summer of 1977, Simone Ridinger was a free spirited 17-year-old working at the Rainbow Restaurant in Natick, Massachusetts. One afternoon in late summer, Simone left her shift to thumb a ride to Martha's Vineyard. She was going to meet her mother for the long Labor Day weekend. But she never made it.

Decades later, Detective James Godinho of the Sherborn Police Department is still searching for Simone. In this episode of the Murder Sheet, he'll discuss the missing woman, theories about her fate, and a mysterious tip from a local clockmaker.

If you have any tips for law enforcement, please call the Sherborn Police Department at 508-653-2424.
