On September 1, 1974, a young woman storms out of the front door after a fight with her stepfather and disappears into the darkness. For 44 years the remains of a teenage woman went unidentified until 2018 when the remains were determined to be those of Linda Pagano. After being found on a riverbank near Cleveland, Ohio she went unidentified until one person decided it was time to find out who she was. Using genetic genealogy the mystery of where Linda had gone was solved. Now, what happened to her? That mystery still exists. We know she went to a concert with her boyfriend to hear the sweet sounds of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young and have fun. After returning home late, an argument with her stepfather ensued and like most teenagers, she rushed out the door to blow off steam. Unfortunately, a monster in the dark decided to take Linda out. With a shot to the back of the head, someone ended the bright future of a wonderful young woman. To this day Linda Pagano's case has gone unsolved and her story has Vanished into Time.
