Disappearance Of Lisa Joy White

Lisa Joy White, of Vernon Connecticut, was thirteen years old when she disappeared on November 1, 1974, the day after she’d been caught for underage drinking.

The NBC Connecticut story tells that Lisa and a group of her friends “hurled a pumpkin from a vehicle window on Interstate 84”. What is realized is this: at 4:30 pm on November 1, after grounding Lisa, her mama went to job. At some point after this, the girl snuck out of the room to meet a friend at Prospect Park, Rockville Connecticut. The Charley Project explains that the distance between the areas was two miles.

When her mother came home, she found a note that explained she was in love with an “older boy” and the above quote. According to the Eye Witness News story, it also explained: “Ma, look, I’m sorry for what I always did to hurt you.” Her sister April is reported to have told that Lisa Joy “associated” with older boys and some men. In a story from NBC Connecticut, April Falleti, nee White, tells that she had a “boyfriend” who was about around eighteen at the time. I cannot learn the name of this boyfriend anywhere. The police called the youth teams of the Manchester and East Hartford Police Departments and the runaway drop-off center in Hartford. Even four days later they, however, questioned that Lisa had been abducted. When days turned to weeks and still no trace of Lisa could be discovered police started to believe foul play was involved.

Lisa Joy had blonde hair and blue eyes, teeth which had been untangled by braces that had been eliminated before the disappearance, and she was “in good physical condition, having done ballet and acrobatics (Charley). So, I’m going to tell you this was a young, lovely, powerful girl.

Notably, Vernon, Connecticut, and the neighboring village of Tolland were the areas of not one or two but five disappearances of young girls missing within a space of ten years. Charley reports that two of the girls were discovered dead. The other three cases, including 7-year-old Janice Pockett and Lisa Joy, are still unsolved. The cases are not realized to be definitively related, but it is something to suppose when chatting about such a string of missing kids. Janice Pockett, Lisa Joy White, and Deborah “Debbie” Lee Spickler came to be realized, at least locally as the “Vernon-Tolland Three”. They have never been discovered and while Nathaniel Bar-Jonah is called as a suspect in Pockett’s case, the other two do not name anyone as a suspect.

Was she alive today, Lisa Joy would be sixty years old
