She was just with a whole bunch of her friends, supposedly.

Now, as the years have gone by, I kind of feel like it was a setup that she was made to be going out that night to deal with whatever was going on.

The missing and unknown and the no-closure, it's a constant grief. It never goes away. It doesn't get any better.

I mean, it might get a little bit lighter at the years go on, but it's still really hard not knowing. And that's what hurts the most.

It's been over 30 years. I'm done. I'm not going to play games anymore.

I think it can be solved. I think it's going to be very difficult. And this time goes on, it gets hotter and hotter.

It's crazy that it's been 30 years because it's a lifetime. Like, we're all mothers now. I can't imagine 30 seconds never mind 30 years if not no one where my child was. But Jen, Jen was called.

And it took me many, many, many years. I'm going to say close to like 20 years probably to accept the fact that she probably was murdered because I always saw that hope.

On the evening of November 14, 1989, 16-year-old Jennifer Faye left her home and brought in Massachusetts.

Her plan was to go hang out with some friends. Jennifer had been due to babysit that evening, but she really wanted to go to a party instead.

So she asked her cousin to come over and babysit for her. Jennifer's cousins saw her leave the residence for the last time around 10 pm.

A mother of one of Jennifer's friends said that she stopped by at their house along her way that night.

There was another sighting of her at a local convenience store in town, where she was seen with another teenager.

Another lead was at the teen she was with became sick while they were walking and decided to go home. And that Jennifer was last seen walking toward a vehicle.

No one is quite sure where Jennifer went that night or who she may have been with.

Jennifer's family has been searching for answers since the following morning when they awoke to find Jennifer missing.

But all of the leads that they've uncovered seem to have gone cold.
