If you read and comprehended my posts you would realize I am in agreement that she was changed by events at or after the party. I am not a doctor so I am limited to speculation based on personal experience. LSD, Ketamine, pure grain alchohol, and barbituates are a few things that could have affected Tammy. She didn't necessarily have to go into a psychotic break or even have any other psych issues. Just getting drugged and having "lost time" with no hallucinations can seriously change someones outlook because trust and a degree of innocence is lost. I think lost trust with her mother, the people in the movie industry added to the "normal" stress of a young woman that age overwhelmed her. Unfortunately I think she came to a bad end before she could pull out of it.
I didn't know Tammy, I was too busy overseas in 1983. I did meet and talk with some young women during the 1970s-1980 who were looking for someone they could trust or even run away with. I was able to convince a few that getting married at 15, which was legal at the time, or running away was probably jumping from the frying pan into the fire.


Added:
Tammy's mother was a talent agent: Tammy and Wing seem to be her only or primary talent. How much income did Wing and the others generate? Tammy was in fact her primary source and maybe her only source of income. I did not want to get into the ugly speculation that Tammy's mother had her "committed" as a means of controlling her finances rather than concern for her well being. Tammy was 18, free to drop her and get another agent. Or change career paths. Leaving mom with no income!

You seem to be stuck on a very narrow theory based primarily on what Tammy's mother said.

Gee, Tammy's mother seems to be one of the most polarizing parents ever interviewed on UM, right up there with Charlotte Pollis' mom.

Yes, we do not have any evidence that Tammy's mom was trying to pull a Britney Spears and put her under guardianship. I hadn't even thought about that, but like you said, it's ugly speculation.

Tammy's mom is no longer here to explain herself further, and Tammy is nowhere to be found, so all we're left with is the evidence from UM and other sources to play armchair detective.

And Dogface, good on you for convincing some vulnerable young women not to do something that they couldn't take back.

I love that we can come to places like this and discuss these cases and come to our own conclusions. it's fascinating. that's why i'm here..

But what we can't do is rewrite and edit the whole thing to make it fit some narrative we have and to make it fit we have to go to bizarre extremes and give people ideas and career plans that we've never ever met...

You agree with me that more than likely tammy took something and that explains her radical change? well naturally! because by all accounts she was fine for 17-18 years and then came back from that party "a different person"

you don't catch a case of mental illness like you catch a cold or covid. so that party is key.

Now as for the mother. do we really have any evidence that says she was a demonic person keeping her poor daughter on the movie extra treadmill to keep the money coming in? no! we don't! do we have anything to suggest that she was in anyway pushy? NO!

but for the sake of argument i'd play along with the that idea that the mother was this stereotypical beauty queen mom, having tammy parading around the house balancing a book on her head, maybe telling her to take it easy on the cheetos..we have no evidence for that, but ok..

But then why would that very same mother whos demonic according to a couple people here, take her daughter to the doctor to be observed for 72 hours and then later to the sheriff, where she could have spilled the beans about her controlling mom?! thats not logical! it's nonsense, she then later does the segment on UM... guilty controlling people don't act like that. on face value, which is all we have, then the mom is legit!

another person here claims that 12 year old wing and the mom were in cahoots! despertate to keep that money coming in and poor tammy a slave! i've just asked chatgtp "how much would a film extra earn in the early 80s?"

"about 45 bucks and at times to keep the make-up and costume provided"

45 bucks!

you can say you've done "investigations" but over 40 years on, unless you know these people personally, then it's to get to a point where you speculate that much that have to give tammy career plans when you've never met her.

we can speculate, but it has to be based on some level of reality.

saying that the mother exagerated the story, that UM exagerated the "freak out in the car" that the lawyer who picked her up on set lied, that z 12 year old was in cahoots with the mother that you know that tammy was thinking she needed a new career...

then theres no reality. you've rewrote the whole story.

Tammy had gone to that wrap-up party, she was also about to go away for 3 months on her own, her mother also "let her out" that day and she got in the car with that guy friend. wheres the parental control!?

Tammys mother took her to the doctor where she was evaulated for 3 days, she also took her to the sheriff. meaning tammy could have said anything to them, both medical and law enforcement people. a big risk to take if the mom was doing something bad..

hardly the actions of a controlling mother whos gonna put her kid under guardianship and chain her to the radiator...

she also did the UM segment. when a guilty person would prefer to let the case go away. but no, there she was...


Theres basic human behavior, how things work, play out, actions... we have no evidence to suggest that the mom was doing anything bad, but we do have her taking tammy to speak to doctors and law enforcement..

guilty people dont do that.

@tvscript124 I am not a Knight or do gooder. I was surprised and stunned when young women came to me with their problems or thought I was the solution. I just tried to get them to think things out. My life was not as stable as it appeared and I didn't really need a "freaked out" teenager with angry parents added to the mix. So some of the motive was selfish. My best woman friend thought my unusually low heart rate was why people and pets felt safe around me.

@BigTed12 Wing was an impressionable 12 year who accepted Tammy's mother as an authority figure. He probably wouldn't contradict her viewpoints.
You have diagnosed Tammy with mental illness. This conradicts the medical personnel who observed and treatred her during her 72 hour hold. They found no evidence of drug abuse much less habitual drug abuse. They found no evidence of abberent behavior and she was released.
During the 1980s many people were misdiagnosed with mental illness and chemically stabilized. It was popular to prescribe drugs that a patient would have to take for the rest of their lives.
I personally knew someone with the bends who was misdiagnosed and tranquilized. I don't know how much damage the shinks caused. Another case was psychosomatic pain. The patient was given a couple of valliums and sent home from the ER to return for a psych exam . A week later a physicians assistant examined him and read the X-rays correctly, multiple broken bones. Another case was an alchoholic misdiagnosed as manic depressive. At least 3 year passed before that was straighened out. That is a short list of patients in the 1980s that were examined by certified shrinks who got it wrong.

Unsolved Mysteries takes mothers of victims at their word and presents them in a sympathetic light. I have become skeptical. I have found or read in various threads where mothers misreprented facts. Some were probably honest mistakes. Some in my opinion were manipulative.

The member who posted opinions based on their additional research never demonized Tammy's mother or suggested conspiracy theories. They did point out there could be problems with the witnesses reliability ie the disbarred lawyer.

Parents are supposed to prepare children for adult life. Tammy was 18 and didn't have a car, did she even have a drivers license? She didn't seem to have her own bank account or learned to handle money. At 18 she seemed totally dependent on others. I think it was lack of preparation more than irresponsibility. I know everyone is different. 16 year olds even 14 year olds with full licences, who know how to balance a checkbook and live within their means was common in rural America. Why was Tammy so vulnerable?

This is just my opinion but you seem to be overreacting to the point of putting words in other peoples mouths.

You're not dealing in reality, Dogface....

You've said that the mom wanted to have Tammy committed as a means of taking her money...

i don't know if thats funny or scary you have that kind of logic...

Heres the thing, it's universally known that beauty pagnants require you to spend more money than you could ever take in from it. those dresses cost thousands, make-up, fees, travelling across the country...

There are no rich beauty queens, theres no financial reward, thats exactly why they try to get rich off their looks another way, MOVIES!

Just like tammy was trying to do, but heres the thing, tammy was "in" 3 movies. in all 3 movies she was an extra "girl at party" "girl at boxing fight"....

but you know what else? she was also UNCREDITED, meaning she wouldn't have even got gotten scale (basic pay)

the whole point of a film extra is just like an intern, you work for nothing pretty much and try to get noticed....

Tammy was more than likely paid less than a 100 bucks for ALL three films.

I have no doubt that it was in fact the mom who was supporting tammy and not in the other way around!

you've made out tammy to be the 80s version of britney spears or lynsey lohan...bringing in 200 million and her parents trying to get it! and you also implicate a 12 year old in it all! evil genius wing! another victim of the that manipulating mom!

HAHAHAHA! tammy more than likely had 80 bucks to her name!


what is you're saying is like denying gravity.

Pretty much everything that happened the day she vanished says she wanted to leave voluntarily. Roberts has gone on record to say Tammy seemed like she wanted to leave, that he didn't even have to get out of the car when he came to pick her up, that she insisted on being let out when he suggested taking her home instead of Ft Lauderdale. She didn't call her home when she was out of the car.
Then there's Curtis's actions that raise some eyebrows. She claimed Tammy was afraid of Roberts (so why go out with him?), she launches a lawsuit against Christopher Wilder only to drop it and claim she never believed he was involved. She names a talent scout who doesn't seem to exist. I could go on. Point is, there appears to be enough to question Leppert's home life.

You know.. One of the things that.. None of us REALLY give much credence to in these cases.. Is that.. Someone might still be alive and well.

This story from over the weekend.. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-missing-found

Reminds us that.. Crazy things happen.

Your mentioning her voluntarily leaving, which i tend to agree with, though.. 'voluntarily' when mental illness is involved.. That gets a little shaky so far as how voluntary it is.

I find it.. Fairly unlikely that Tami Lynn is still alive.. Just out there living 'off the grid' so to speak. Mainly because it's just so hard to believe that someone could remain off the radar for this long. But.. You look at the above case and see.. it CAN happen.

Same thing regarding Adam Hecht. I'd be floored if he turned up alive tomorrow.. But.. That little, miniscule possibility.. Is out there. I think all of us neglect to consider it because the odds are just so small. Or, more likely, we consider and discount it because of said odds.

Not specifically directing any of this at you or your ideas on this case.. Just overall observations.

You know you kind of caused me to think of a question I raised in my own mind. Thinking of all these unsolved cases from the show over the years, particularly missing persons, how do we know that in some instances some of these missing persons have not resurfaced and got in contact with their families and we just never heard about it? and how many times wanted criminals from the show have been either caught and turned up deceased and we just never heard about it?

In general over the years Unsolved Mysteries has been pretty good about keeping its wiki pages and site updated with solved cases. Even though the main show has been off the air over twenty years now the most recent reincarnations of the show notwithstanding, including the recent Netflix version of the show. of course the 1-800 number has long since been disconnected but as far as I know the site is still active and updated. And I'm guessing people who ran the show still research and track old cases sometimes.

But, i have to think there has been at least a few instances where missing persons from the show, or even other kinds of cases have been resolved and it simply was never reported to Unsolved Mysteries or any other media that Unsolved Mysteries tracks. i mean its been years since Bobby and Christy Baskin were found for all we know they may have finally decided to at least meet their brother who knows? And they simply did not report it for their own reasons.

In the case of Tammy Lynn Leppert, I seem to remember she had a younger sister who was looking for her as recently as a decade ago, as far as i know she still is. So i don't think this applies to her. And like you I've always believed just based on the circumstances of her disappearance she is likely no longer with us. But there is no way to know for sure. And the guy she went with that day I'm far from certain he has told everything he knows about her disappearance either.

But I still bet this happens more than we think.

But it's nonsense, it denies how humans behave.


if someone wants to leave home, they pack a bag, clothes and they leave. you're saying that tammy had an argument with a friend in a car, gets out, by many accounts shoeless and moneyless, then makes frantic phonecalls.. then decides to use this for her plans to run away...

People dont do that.

Tammy by all accounts was perfectly well before this party, then she goes home and acts strange, if you want to call breaking a window with a baseball bat "normal" then fine! if you want to call her believing a van was outside spying on her as "overplayed" then ok...

but hahaha if she was doing even half of what we're told she was doing, then yeah! there would have been problems at home, because her LSD induced mental illness had her acting the way she did.

People run away all the time, but you don't run away the way you're saying tammy did. you pack a bag, you take some clothes, a person who is sane and takes the cold well thought out decision to run away, doesn't get out of a car, makes frantic phonecalls... they just don't.

you're denying basic human behavour, a guilty mother doesn't take her daughter to be kept for 3 days to be looked at, she doesn't take her daughter to see the sheriff, she doesn't also do a segment of UM..

These aren't the actions of a guilty mother, because tammy could have said anything.

If tammy being 100% sound minded ran away that day, why has she disappared? just because you hate your mother, doesn't mean you cut every single person you know off and go MIA.

i have a friend who ran away from home, he went and found an apartment, kept in touch with people, got a job...

you're denying basic reality in the most insane way imaginable..

It depends, i think it's pretty safe to say that she took something like LSD at that party and it seriously messed with her mental health. because everyone says that before that party she was fine and she came home a "different person"

"it was as if a switch was flicked"

mental illness doesn't appear like that unless it's drug releated, we also have nobody saying she shown signed of mental illness BEFORE the party. so it's drugs...

I'm not an expert on these things, so i dont know how badly this could affect someone, does it get worse and worse? could she have had some meltdown after the argument?

i don't think that it's a sane theory that she just wandered off that day and could have even been taken in by someone, her mental health declines, her appearance dramatically changes by living badly.. and she just slowly drifts away.

maybe she died a year later, maybe she died 5 years later or maybe shes still out there.

it's difficult because we dont have a body dead or alive.

[blacksymbiote]

Tammy's situation isn't that of an ordinary person. Since she chose a ride with someone she could get cash from, it seems plausible that she doesn't have open access to money. Since Tammy is known for her appearance above all else, it wouldn't do to have a wardrobe like hers that would probably attract attention.
Thinking about it now makes me wonder were these episodes actually an attempt to get out of the business and when that failed, she decided to perhaps disappear.

People dont do that.

Brenda Heist did just that. She abandoned everything on a whim and hitchhiked her way to Florida with 3 strangers.

I am almost 100% convinced that Tammy is sadly no longer with us, but I also cannot shake the feeling that she did in fact leave everything behind in Cocoa Beach, somehow made it to Fort Lauderdale, and met with foul play at a later date.

Wait a minute, we could be on to something here...

Your investigations have concluded that tammy decided to masterfully pretend to have these mental illness espisodes as a means of getting out of showbiz? Those extra roles really did seem to be mounting up.

When all this failed she then decided to dupe even UM, because there was no freakout in the car, infact the guy dropped 50 grand in her lap and helped her began a new life? of course picking out a much more less showy wardrobe to begin her new journey.

listen black, i wasn't buying it 2 comments ago, but now i'm all in. i think it's time you broke it. i think it's been long enough for everyone, especially the family.

i implore you to call fort lauderdale LE. put this case to bed once and for all.

Brenda Heist had a criminal past, her marriage was over and while sat crying in a park, was found by strangers who invited her to hitchhike to florida, she spent years sleeping under a bridge..

my theory with tammy is that some LSD mental illness kicked in and prevented her from going home.

Some people argue she was fine.... in the case of brenda heist she was and clearly is mentally unwell too, Brenda was arrested on drug charges, sat in the park crying and ended up sleeping under a bridge.

lets be honest, her actions also scream mental illness. brenda heist isn't the simple case of a housewife bored with life decides to move away.

but bringing up brenda is interesting, maybe it's very similar and we just haven't found tammy yet. this case proves it's possible.

but both tammy and brenda weren't mentally well.
