On Friday, September 24th, 1971, sixteen year old Cathy Moulton disappeared while walking home in downtown Portland, Maine. Despite the desperate pleas of her family, local law enforcement treated the case as that of a runaway and did almost no investigation whatsoever.
For more than twenty years, the Moulton family did their best to investigate the case themselves. They followed leads, interviewed witnesses and hired private investigators but could get no closer to the truth. Finally, in 1995, a new detective looked at the case and was determined to find answers.
Detective Kevin Cady would quickly uncover a series of eyewitnesses who were able to track the missing teen's movements out of Portland and to the northern tip of the state before she disappeared across the Canadian border. Perhaps what was most disturbing was the realization that, had investigators in 1971 taken the case seriously, they might have been able to bring Cathy home alive.

Thank you so much for doing this episode! I am from Portland, ME and was a senior in high school in 1971. I don't remember much about Cathy's case; she went to Deering HS and I went to Portland HS but I frequently went to the 7-11 dances at the YWCA on Free St. This story has brought up so many memories of being a teenager in Portland at that time! Shopping at Porteus, Mitchell & Braun on Congress St, checking out The Gate on Congress St, going to Starbird Music too! I'm so sad about what happened to Cathy; having just turned 70 this year I feel very nostalgic for those days of my carefree youth. Cathy didn't get to grow up and go to college or marry or become a mother or anything else and I want to thank you for calling out the Portland police for ignoring the parents. Your podcast brought me to tears and I felt like I was right back there and 17 again. Keep up the great work! Sincerely,
