110: The Disappearance of Doreen Vincent | Connecticut, 1988

On June 15, 1988, 12-year-old Doreen Vincent disappeared from her father’s home on Whirlwind Hill Road in Wallingford, Connecticut.

Her father claimed they argued and she left through the front door with some clothes and money. But Doreen never made it to her mother’s home, and she’s never been seen again.

From the beginning, the story didn’t add up.

A locked deadbolt. Conflicting timelines. Delayed reporting. A violent father with a criminal record. And, years later, possible links to a serial killer and a known predator in the family.

For decades, Doreen’s case was treated like a runaway. Now, investigators believe something much darker happened that night.

This episode examines the disappearance of Doreen Vincent, a young girl whose story has been overshadowed by silence for more than three decades.
