Dark Downeast

Thirteen-year-old Kathy Lynn Gloddy left her home in Franklin, New Hampshire, on a November evening in 1971 with the family dog beside her. The dog came home. Kathy did not.
By the following afternoon, her disappearance had become something far darker, and a community was left trying to understand how such violence could be inflicted on a child.
In the years that followed, investigators would return to Kathy’s case again and again, each time believing they might finally be close to an answer. Suspects surfaced while old evidence was reconsidered and new theories took shape, but still, more than five decades later, no one has ever been charged with Kathy’s murder.
If you have information relating to the case of Kathy Lynn Gloddy, please contact the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit at 603-271-2663 or email coldcaseunit@dos.nh.gov.

In the fall of 2010, Roberta “Bobbie” Miller was starting over. She had a new home in Gilford, New Hampshire, she was back in school, and she was making plans for the life ahead of her. Then, on Halloween weekend, Bobbie and her dog, Sport, were shot and killed inside that home.
There were circumstances that seemed to point suspicion in one direction. But as the years passed, some members of Bobbie’s own family began looking somewhere else entirely.
No one has ever been charged with Bobbie’s murder. When Dark Downeast first covered this story in 2024, Bobbie’s brother Ken made it clear how deeply frustrated the family had become by the lack of attention and resources devoted to her case. But now, nearly 16 years later, New Hampshire’s expanded Cold Case Unit has an investigator specifically assigned to it, and Bobbie’s family is offering a new $56,000 reward for information that finally leads them to the truth.
If you have information about the 2010 unsolved homicide of Roberta “Bobbie” Miller, please contact the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit at (603) 271-2663 or email coldcaseunit@dos.nh.gov. You can also leave a tip via the link in the show description. There is a $56,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of Bobbie Miller’s killer.

Judy Belfrey. Kathy Williams. Holly Davidson. Melodie Stankiewicz. Four young women whose lives crossed the same few blocks of Boston in the 1970s, and whose deaths left investigators with a pattern they could see but never fully explain.
The cases unfolded in different places and under different circumstances, but there was enough overlap to consider a connection. Again and again, investigators were drawn back to Boston’s Combat Zone. The question then – and now – is what that shared geography means. Was one killer returning to the same hunting ground, or were multiple dangerous men taking advantage of a neighborhood where it was easy to disappear?
If you have information about Judy Belfrey’s murder, contact the Boston Police Homicide Unit at 617-343-4470.
For information about Kathy Williams or Holly Davidson, contact the Massachusetts State Police Unresolved Case Unit at 1-855-MA-SOLVE, or 1-855-627-6583.
If you have information about Melodie Stankiewicz, contact the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit at 603-271-2663.

If there is any case where you wish you could turn back the clock and change just one small decision, it might be the disappearance of Bianca Lebron. There were several moments that morning in November 2001 when a question, a phone call, or one person stopping her before she walked away might have changed everything that came next.
Now, as the 25 year mark approaches, Bianca’s case needs attention more than ever. I want everyone to see her face, to study the composite sketch of the man believed to drive her away from school that day, and do everything we can to bring this child home to her family and find the person who took her away.
If you have any information about Bianca Lebron’s disappearance, please contact Bridgeport Police at 203-576-7671. You can also submit a tip to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST.

Why talk about a case that was solved years ago? Because the answer to who did it isn’t the only thing that matters.
One night in October 2006, a college student needed to borrow a phone. She happened to ask a stranger with violent intentions. What makes that even harder to sit with is what investigators learned about this man afterward. There were red flags everywhere, allegations that reached back years, but none of it stopped him from being there that night.
This young woman’s story did not end with what happened to her. The work she cared about continues through the people who love her. Twenty years later, her legacy is still very much alive.
