Alicia Bernice Markovich was 15 when she disappeared on April 26, 1987, after a day visit with her father in Blairsville, Pennsylvania. Her father, John Markovich, said they argued that morning and that Alicia abruptly left his Dunn Avenue home; he told her to return by 8:00 p.m. and assumed she was going to a friend’s house. She was never seen again. At the time she was last seen wearing a white crop top with red, yellow, and blue stripes, jeans, white tennis shoes, and carrying purple sunglasses.

Her mother, Marcie, rejected the initial classification of runaway, saying Alicia was a good student, a freshman on the high school track team, had no history of running away, and would not have been able to survive on her own. In 1990 the Pennsylvania State Police reclassified the disappearance as a suspected homicide after there was no contact and no activity on Alicia’s bank account or Social Security number. Over the years investigators have had little physical evidence or a defined crime scene; a 2000 anonymous letter claiming Alicia was buried near the Conemaugh River proved to be a hoax. If anyone knew Alicia’s routines, friends, or movements in April 1987, can you help with information?
