Summary
Twenty years later, in May of 2001, law enforcement officials announced that witnesses had come forward stating that on the night of her disappearance, Tammy was taken to a remote area, assaulted and ultimately murdered by a small group of men. To date, none of them have ever been charged or even named as witnesses are too afraid to testify.
Her family desperately hopes for justice and the chance to bring Tammy home where she may be laid to rest beside her parents. There are people who know the truth, but until they come forward, the case remains in limbo.

| 0:28.7 | Sun Express, non-stop sunshine. Friday, May 8, 1981, arrived in the form of a cool, chilly morning with clear skies and light winds. |
| 0:47.3 | Bright rays of warmth splashed down upon the city of Oneida, located in upstate New York's Madison County. As light and heat |
| 0:56.2 | poured out from the eastern horizon, most residents' morning routines were already underway. Though |
| 1:02.4 | morning temperatures lingered in the 40s, the spring afternoon promised a high in the 60s and a little |
| 1:08.5 | preview of the coming summer. Most people grabbed a light jacket |

| 1:17.8 | it was just supposed to be another Friday leading into an exciting weekend. But by the time |

| 1:50.1 | Street as it transitioned into Route 46, a smile on her face and her thumb out towards traffic. |
| 1:57.1 | Tammy hadn't lived in Oneida for a long time, but she'd become an unmistakable fixture. |
