In 1977, one month after Debbie Quimby went missing, Eddy Segall disappeared in a nearby town. Her case, like Debbie's, is still open; could the similarities between the disappearances suggest a connection? Three years later, in 1980, Kristine Forget was found violently murdered in Dunstable, MA in the same area a rumored satanic cult was meeting up. Who holds the answers to what happened to her?
If you know anything in the case of Eddy Segall, please contact the Hollis New Hampshire Police Dept. at 603-465-7637
If you know anything in the case of Kristine Forget, please contact the Dunstable Massachusetts Police Dept. at 978-649-7445

In May of 1977, a young girl disappears en route to her grandparent’s (camp) house. She left behind no clues as to what may have happened; it was as if she quite literally vanished. When those in the area looked closer at her case, they began to wonder if the truth to what really happened to her may be connected to the events of 1973…

In January of 1974, Clara Provost was murdered in her own home by a man who stalked her for months. Her family, especially her sister and best friend Beatrice, fought for thirty-eight years to see the perpetrator finally convicted. Clara’s life was much more than the tragedy that happened to her; Beatrice’s moving tribute to her sister shows just how benevolent and brave Clara really was.
