Steel City’s Lost Girl: The Disappearance of Mary Ann Verdecchia

from Koltergeist: True Crime Stories

It was June 1962, the last day of school in Pittsburgh—a day buzzing with summertime excitement. But the celebration was short-lived when 10-year-old Mary Ann Verdecchia vanished without a trace. Her disappearance shattered the neighborhood’s sense of safety and still stands as one of America’s oldest unsolved missing-child cases.Sources:On Purpose | Pitt Magazine | University of PittsburghJun 20, 1962, page 1 - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette at Newspapers.comJun 14, 1962, page 25 - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette at Newspapers.comApr 20, 1991, page 7 - The Pittsburgh Press at Newspapers.comAmazon.com: Therese Rocco: Pittsburgh's First Female Assistant Police Chief eBook : Rocco, Therese: Kindle StoreNov 26, 1959, page 18 - The Pittsburgh Press at Newspapers.come  Hosted on Acast.
