It was an agreement due to the fact her parents were divorced. The girl, Alicia Markovich, lived with her mother. On April 26, 1987, however, we don't have an idea where she stayed ... because on that night, after an argument with her father, Alicia went for a walk and hasn't been seen since.


Social media has been huge on trying to find where the woman (who would be almost 50 at the time of this recording) disappeared and if she can be found. A community of friends and family would love to see this story have a happy ending ... but may settle for some type of closure as time progresses.

That was the last anyone witnessed her alive.


Over two years later, this same girl was found in an abandoned distillery well in the Philadelphia suburb of Bensalem Township. She was later to be known as Lisa Todd. However, circumstances beyond control reduced her to be called Publicker Jane Doe for over 35 years. It took a few technological advances to piece the mystery together.

 

As much as the story is about sorrow, it certainly is also one of determination. Bensalem Police Det. Chris McMullin has been on this case since 2002. He takes us through the journey of Lisa Todd helping him solve - or, at least b ring closure - to other cases over the years. Today - Det. McMullin is still seeking justice for the girl who didn't get the chance to live life as a woman ... and her baby girl who didn't get the opportunity to take a breath.

]]> It starts in October, 1985 - when a then 17-year-old pregnant girl walked out into the Philadelphia night.


That was the last anyone witnessed her alive.


Over two years later, this same girl was found in an abandoned distillery well in the Philadelphia suburb of Bensalem Township. She was later to be known as Lisa Todd. However, circumstances beyond control reduced her to be called Publicker Jane Doe for over 35 years. It took a few technological advances to piece the mystery together.

 

As much as the story is about sorrow, it certainly is also one of determination. Bensalem Police Det. Chris McMullin has been on this case since 2002. He takes us through the journey of Lisa Todd helping him solve - or, at least b ring closure - to other cases over the years. Today - Det. McMullin is still seeking justice for the girl who didn't get the chance to live life as a woman ... and her baby girl who didn't get the opportunity to take a breath.
