Tammie Anne McCormick was 13 when she disappeared from Saratoga Springs, New York, on April 29, 1986. That morning she missed her school bus and told her sister she planned to hitchhike to Saratoga Springs Junior High. She never arrived and was not seen again. On the day she vanished she was wearing a yellow-striped shirt, black corduroy pants, beige boots and carrying a shoulder bag.

In the days before her disappearance she had told friends she was thinking about running away to Florida, but her mother thought that unlikely because Tammie left her belongings behind and was dressed in worn, uncomfortable clothing. Her mother reported her missing two days later after assuming she might have stayed at a friend’s house as she sometimes had. Years afterward authorities identified a likely suspect, Arthur Slaybaugh, a former corrections officer who died in 2001; witnesses provided new information after his death but Tammie’s body has never been found and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone who knew Tammie or lived in Saratoga Springs in 1986 have information that could help provide answers?
