Summary

One of Alicia's close friends joined me to discuss this 37-year-old case of missing a person. She is a victim advocate and has some interesting things to say about this case and how it may be solved. She also talks about their steps to discover what happened to their friend. Alicia Markovich, a 15-year-old from Windber, Pennsylvania, disappeared on April 26, 1987, after an argument at her father's home in Blairsville. Despite extensive searches and investigations, her case remains unsolved, leaving unanswered questions and a community still seeking closure. Over the years, web sleuths and family efforts have kept Alicia's story alive, hoping for new leads to unravel the mystery of her disappearance.
