It was August 20th, 1979, and 35-year-old Margaret Pizio was clocking into her overnight

shift at the Swiss chalet motoring in Seaconc Massachusetts.

Margaret was a divorced mother of four children, three of them lived with her at the time,

and so when she had to work one of her three jobs, the kids stayed home with their grandfather.

It should have returned home the next morning, but as it got later and later with no sign

of her, the growing unease in the house was palpable, and then the phone rang.

And it was a reporter from a local radio station who wanted to talk to somebody about my

mom's murder.

Beth Pizio was just a few days shy of her ninth birthday when her mother was killed.

Over four decades later, Margaret's murder remains unsolved.

With hopes that by sharing her mother's story, it'll reach the person or persons who

have been withholding information all these years, information that could answer the

question that looms over Beth to this day.

I'm Kylie Lowe and with Beth Pizio.

This is the case of Margaret Pizio, Undark Down East.

I was born in Riverside, Rhode Island in 1970.

It was a very residential area, very heavily suburban.

All of the families around us were, you know, middle class.

My dad is an electrician, and so he would have been, you know, working class blue collar.

And my mom didn't work.

I'm the third of four kids.
