She didn't answer the phone, so Vickie left work to check on her daughter. When she returned home, Leigh was gone and the house was covered with blood.With multiple suspects but very little evidence, Leigh's case remains unsolved over 33 years later - with police and her father believing she has been murdered, and her mother praying she was missing.This case takes some twists and turns on the way - with multiple polygraphs offered and taken, some passes and some fails and two main theories both leading no where, a body found that was confirmed as Leigh's then retracted.This episode does discuss child abuse, extra precaution should be taken when listening.If you have any information on Leigh's case, you can contact:Tupelo Police Department - 662-841-6491The FBI - 202-324-3000Crimestoppers Northeast Mississippi - 1-800-773-8477 - tip can be submitted anonymously.If you have a story in mind that you would like featured, please email sslpod.kd@gmail.com, you can also find me on instagram and TikTokIf you would like to sponsor the podcast, you can do so via buymeacoffee Hosted on Acast.
