Tracy Anne King was 14 when she disappeared from the Littlestown area of Pennsylvania in the summer of 1975. On July 8 she was a resident of Hoffman Homes, a children’s home in Mount Pleasant Township; she was last seen leaving the facility and never returned. Tracy had red hair, blue eyes, stood 5 feet 3 inches and weighed about 110 pounds, with a scar on her right ankle and pockmarks on her temple.

Accounts of what happened that day conflict. The most commonly reported version says she walked away from the home and ran away as she had before, but family members were not notified until a week later and do not believe she would have stayed away voluntarily because she had no money and was close to her sisters. Some old newspaper reports mention another girl, Stephanie, disappearing the same day, and others say Tracy was roller skating with a group from the home when she vanished. Authorities classify the case as a non-family abduction and it remains an open investigation with the Pennsylvania State Police; age-progressed images have been released over the years.
