In the autumn of 1974, 13-year-old Lisa Joy White disappeared after leaving a friend’s house on Prospect Street in the Rockville section of Vernon, Connecticut. Lisa had been grounded after an underage drinking incident on Halloween and slipped out of her home on the afternoon of November 1 to visit the friend. She was last seen walking along Prospect Street at about 8:00 p.m., dressed in green slacks and a blue denim jacket.

Lisa was described as physically fit, active in dance and acrobatics, with blonde hair, blue eyes and a small pockmark above her right eye. She was known to associate with an older crowd and had an 18-year-old boyfriend the family did not approve of. As weeks passed with no contact, police shifted from the runaway theory to concern about foul play. Her disappearance was one of five similar cases in the Vernon and Tolland area over a decade; two of those other missing persons were later found dead, though no definitive link among the cases has been established. The Vernon Police Department has kept Lisa’s case open and detectives have periodically reviewed the files.

Did anyone in Vernon or Rockville at that time remember seeing Lisa on the evening of November 1, 1974, or have information about the people she spent time with then?
