In the midst of a promising dance career, Tracy Jo Shine suddenly dropped out of school

and shortly afterward disappeared.

Twelve years later, debris from an old refrigerator would warm up what had become a very cold

case.

Tracy Jo Shine grew up in Houston, Texas.

She was a good student, a girl scout and played sports, but her real interest, her passion

was dance.

A age of 13, she auditioned and was accepted at the prestigious high school for performing

arts in Houston.

It was a dream come true.

And while away at school, Tracy Jo began to experiment with drugs.

That's when she started having the problems.

She started meeting the wrong people.

She started skipping classes.

Her grades began to slip and she became romantically involved with 31-year-old Michael Neal, who had

recently been released from prison.

The first time I had met him and she brought him over to my apartment, he seemed to be

polite enough and seemed to be nice enough.

Eventually, Tracy Jo abandoned her dreams of a career in dance, dropped out of school

and at the age of 18, moved in with her boyfriend, Michael and his mother.

Tracy Jo's mother didn't know what to do next.

Tracy was not the Tracy that she was before she did the drugs.
