Since it sounds like people would like more posters instead of just readers, I thought i would ask about this one...:) Sometimes I don't know if you guys have already talked certain cases to death, or are irritated with newbies, so I was hesitant to post. So hear goes....

It is an old one and I have not seen the episode for a long time, but it was the one about a high school girl who was working at the mall, closing by herself and she didn't come home and so her parents came looking for her. She was found dead in the back room, out of view of the security cameras. Can someone fill in the rest of the details? Was this ever solved?

No I don't think anything came of it. Didn't they link that murder with some other ones around the state?

Tracy Kirkpatrick was the girl's name. In the not-too-distant past, someone on this board said he or she suspected someone of Tracy's murder, or knew of a person who suspected the identity of Tracy's killer. But obviously, there isn't enough evidence to name that person, let alone arrest him.

Oh and one other segment that I had not heard much about was the one about the gas station? store clerk working graveyard that disappeared. Then a witness went into the store to buy cigarettes and saw who police believe to be a suspect working behind the counter. His description was a huge guy with a megadeath shirt and a skull ring. Any information on this one either?

Kane do you remember any more details of the case and where it was at?

You might be thinking of a different case, the 1996 abduction and murder of Alicia Showalter Reynolds. But that was in Virginia. Two suspects were named, but never charged:

1) Richard Evonitz, who was connected to three murders (including the 1997 murders of two young sisters), but offed himself before he could be arrested.

2) Darrell David Rice, who is incarcerated for an unrelated crime.

To my knowledge, Tracy Lynn Kirkpatrick's murder was never connected to any other murders. She was murdered in 1989.

It was in Maryland. The case is listed at the following site:

The missing store clerk was Deborah Deann Poe.
