Debbie's story begins on a quiet spring day in 1977—May 3rd, to be exact. She left behind a simple note for her parents, letting them know she was headed to her grandparents' nearby campsite by bicycle and that she'd be back later.

She never came home.

A friend walked part of the way with Debbie but turned back before Debbie continued west on Turnpike Road alone. The last known sighting of her was near a hill along that road. Her bike vanished with her.

As police dug into her disappearance, they discovered an unsent letter in Debbie’s school locker—addressed to a friend. It revealed she was upset and wanted to talk. Scribbled on the same paper were directions to her grandparents’ home.

What began as an ordinary ride ended in a decades-long mystery. This is the story of Debbie—one of the lost girls we will never forget.
