Mary Alice Briscolina was a 14-year-old girl from Broward County, Florida, who disappeared on October 23, 1972, while hitchhiking with another girl, Elsie Farmer. Both girls went missing that day and a search lasting several months ended when their remains were found on January 17, 1973, at a construction site in Plantation, Florida.

The murders were later linked to Gerard John Schaefer Jr., a former Martin County sheriff’s deputy born in 1946. Schaefer, who targeted young women and sometimes posed as an officer, was arrested in 1973 after two teenage girls escaped an attempted abduction. Investigators connected him to multiple unsolved killings, and he was convicted of two murders and sentenced to life in prison. He was killed by another inmate in 1995.

Does anyone have information about Mary Alice’s last known movements or the route she and Elsie were taking on October 23, 1972?
