Summary

Sandra Prince was well known throughout Florida's Bay Avenue for her dedication to the community, her craft real estate acquisitions and for being one of the nicest and kindest friends and neighbors you could ever want. For much of Sandra's life, things had gone just the way she'd wanted them to until the night she vanished.

For months investigators struggled to gain a foothold on Sandra's life. Notoriously private, few people knew exactly what she was up to nor who she spent time with. Eventually, one name came to the surface: Earl Pippin. Pippin worked as a contractor for Sandra and, reportedly, had been in a relationship with her for close to five years.

Nine long months after her disappearance, the Temple Terrace Police officially named Pippin as a person of interest in the case. The hunt for Sandra's remains began in earnest as detectives had few reasons to believe the missing woman might still be alive. Pippin, allegedly the sole beneficiary to her estate, valued at nearly $3 million, quickly became the central focus of their investigation.

0:29.9	59-year-old Sandra Prince was well-known in the Bay Area of Florida. Kind, compassionate
0:44.4	and altruistic, she dedicated 30 years of her life to helping those who needed it most.
0:50.2	Then one quiet December night, she mysteriously vanished. Much of the search for Sandra was
0:55.6	mired in the details of her life. Nautoriously private, few knew exactly what she'd been
1:00.9	up to, nor who she was spending her time with. Eventually, it was discovered that she'd
1:05.4	had a secret relationship with a married man, her contractor, Earl Pippin. As detectors

1:16.4	In September of 2006, nine long months after the disappearance, investigators officially

1:37.2	Sandra's estate, valued at nearly $3 million.
1:42.3	Following that announcement, investigators would conduct multiple digs at a property connected
1:46.6	to Pippin. They'd reveal the discovery of new evidence, put forth a theory regarding
1:51.4	jealousy, and then in a shocking twist, would turn their attention to another member of
1:56.5	the Pippin family. Was this a case of a jealous lover striking out in a moment of rage?
