Rachel Hurley's Unsolved Murder
from Lost Girls Hosted by Lost Girls
On in 1990, fourteen-year-old Rachel Hurley set out on what should have been a simple walk back to her mother. Just hours earlier, she had been laughing with friends on a boat near Jupiter Inlet—a carefree afternoon that felt like any other. But somewhere between Dubois Park and Carlin Park, everything changed. When Rachel’s friends stopped briefly, she ran ahead alone, less than a mile from where her mother was waiting. It was a decision any teenager might make without a second thought. She never made it to their meeting spot. By nightfall, the search had begun. What unfolded next would leave a family shattered and a community searching for answers that, more than three decades later, still haven’t come. In this episode, LaDonna Humphrey and Amy Smith walk through the final known moments of Rachel’s life, the small, ordinary choices that led to an unthinkable outcome, and the enduring weight of a case that remains unsolved. They explore how quickly normal can turn into tragedy—and why Rachel’s story still matters today. If you were in Jupiter, Florida in March of 1990, or remember anything—no matter how small—please contact local law enforcement or Crime Stoppers. One detail could make the difference. Because Rachel Hurley deserved to make it home. And we will keep saying her name—because every girl deserves justice.
