Jeannette DePalma // 339

In August of 1972, a 16-year-old girl went missing in New Jersey. Although police initially insisted she had run away, her body was found six weeks later at the top of a cliff near an abandoned quarry. Due to the disturbing and controversial scene in which her body was discovered, her death was ruled a homicide, and some suspect she was actually a ritual sacrifice for demonic activity. This is the story of Jeannette DePalma.BONUS EPISODESApple Subscriptions: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/going-west-true-crime/id1448151398Patreon: patreon.com/goingwestpodcastCASE SOURCES1.
