Vanished Without A Trace Perhaps no case in state history with the exception of the Martha Moxley murder in Greenwich has received more national attention than the disappearance of ten year old Connie Smith. During July 16th, 1952, the young Wyoming girl who was staying at Camp Sloane in Salisbury had wandered from the campgrounds after some rough play with fellow campers. She was seen heading for the village of Lakeville walking along Route 44 in Salisbury, thumb extended looking for a ride. That was the last recollection anyone has had of the young camper being alive. Following the disappearance, there was a massive manhunt. Police scoured the New York/ Connecticut border for clues and her possible remains. Police also had numerous potential suspects which included the camp cook, the camp caretaker, nearby workers and deliverymen. Eventually the case went national on the Art Linkletter show and while it garnered much needed publicity for the case, it produced many dead end leads and false confessions. Now fifty years later, there is still no trace of Connie Smith. Her father still ever hopeful, never gave up on trying to find her alive. Author Michael Dooling recently wrote a book about her disappearance named, "Clueless in New England" .

Another case of a woman with substance abuse issues was that of Cassandra Mead of East Haven. She was found strangled to death in late August of 2011 at Union and Water Street. What is unusual is that the area is a block away from the New Haven Police Department. The 21 year old had a criminal past and had suffered from Bi-Polar disorder. The murder was particularly brazen because it is near the downtown and so close to a police presence. If you have any information about any of these cases please call 203-946-6316.

Rumors Still Swirl Around About Former Hartford Cop's Disappearance August 16th, 1981 was the last time on record that anyone saw 47 year old Andrew Economou. The married former Hartford Police Officer was a millionaire businessman who owned a succesful restaurant in Rocky Hill. His mistress was supposedly the last one to see him alive in a Hartford Parking Lot. From there, rumors and stories have swirled that he may have started a new life overseas or was a victim of murder. Decades later, there are stories of gambling debts and associations with mob figures that point to something sinister having happened to the father of three. But before he disappeared, Economou left several notes to his family that if he disappeared that they should look at one of his associates. When he was last seen by his mistress, he had a bag of cash that was estimated to be between fifty to a hundred thousand and that he was going to New York City for a business deal.
