Unsolved: The 1995 Disappearance of Robin Murphy | Part 1 with guest reader Nora McLellan

In the spring of 1995, seventeen-year-old Robin Murphy vanished after borrowing her mother’s car to visit her boyfriend in New York’s Hudson Valley. The car was found abandoned the next day — but Robin was gone. Just months earlier, 12-year-old Josette Wright disappeared in the same community. When Josette’s body was discovered, two men were convicted of her murder, but authorities insisted the cases weren’t connected. This episode of She Goes By Jane examines Robin’s unsolved disappearance, the questions that still haunt her community, and why many believe her case may be linked to other crimes against women and girls. 📖 Featuring an original poem written in Robin’s honor, read by Canadian actor Nora McLellan. ✨ She Goes By Jane is a true crime podcast about missing women and unidentified women.
