Three girls disappeared, each in a different year, in different states, and under different circumstances. Deborah Ann Quimby vanished in 1977, Colleen Orsborn in 1984, and Alicia Markovich in 1987. There was nothing to connect the disappearances of the 3 girls. That was until an apparent connection was seen in an anonymous letter writer. In each case, someone had written at least one letter related to the disappearance of the girls. Some of the letters were sent to family members and some were sent to the police. But it appeared as though all of the letters were written by the same person. Some of the letters contained very graphic descriptions of what happened to the girls. This case remains a mystery but the details need to be heard. There is someone out there that may know what happened to these 3 girls. Was the anonymous letter responsible for their disappearances or was this someone playing a sick game to torment the family and police?
