Episode 89: Laurie Partridge with guest reader Liz Vassey

On December 4, 1974, 17-year-old Laurie Partridge left school early, saying she wasn’t feeling well. She never made it home. Missing with her were the pair of Beach Boys concert tickets her dad had purchased for her for a show scheduled a week later. The night of the concert, police watched for her, but in the sea of 4000 people, Laurie was nowhere to be found. And though Laurie never showed, her tickets were used. Now, over fifty years later, Laurie Patridge is still missing. 📖 Featuring an original poem written in her honor, read by actress Liz Vassey.
