Debbie Spickler and her cousin headed to Henry Park in Vernon, CT., to swim on July 24, 1968, when they realized they had forgotten to bring towels. While Spickler’s cousin, 13, returned to her Foxhill Drive house to retrieve some towels, Spickler pressed on to the pool. When her cousin made it to the park, Spickler was nowhere to be found. She has not been seen since.
There are few details available in Spickler’s disappearance. Her mother received a birthday card from her the same day she disappeared. In the card, Spickler wrote she was being good and helping her aunt. There were two other unsolved abductions in Tolland County around the same time Spickler disappeared. Investigators theorized her case may be related to those. A $50,000 reward is still being offered for information about what happened to Spickler, who remains missing.
