A task force formed more than a year ago to investigate the disappearances of three girls from the Vernon and Tolland areas more than 40 years ago has developed a list of suspects, conducted searches in three locations and plans additional searches...

"I think we're making tremendous progress," Gedansky said. "For 40 years these cases were dealt with individually. Detectives consulted with each other and worked together, but this is a new approach"...

Aprille Falletti of Ellington, Lisa White's younger sister, said the fresh eyes of cold case squad members have given renewed hope of progress in her sister's case.

I hope they do make progress....its long overdue!
I'm familiar with that town in CT.
At the time it was mostly woods, farms, streams, a tad hilly. Somewhat rural turning into a suburbs of sorts. But the town was just starting to build up--and become a suburb of Hartford, basically.
 
Bumping for Lisa.

There is a new podcast (Paper Ghosts) out that focuses on Lisa's case, as well as those of Janice Pockett, Deborah Lee Spickler, and Susan LaRosa.

''Details of Disappearance
Lisa was last seen in Vernon, Connecticut on November 1, 1974. The night before her disappearance, she'd been arrested for underage drinking and her parents grounded her. After her mother went to work at 4:30 p.m., she sneaked out to visit a friend on Prospect Street in Rockville, Connecticut, two miles away. Following her visit, at 7:30 p.m., Lisa began walking home. She never arrived and has never been heard from again.

Lisa left a note for her mother saying she was in love with an older boy and "you think I'm a little girl, but I'm not." According to her sister, she associated with older boys and some men. The police initially believed she'd run away from home, but foul play is now suspected in her case.

Lisa's disappearance was one of five in a ten-year period in the Vernon area, including Janice Pockett. All of the missing were female; they ranged in age from 7 to 20 years old. Two of them were found deceased years after their disappearances but the other three, including Lisa, remain missing. It is not clear whether the cases are related. Lisa's disappearance remains unsolved. Her mother died in July 2012.''

Im so glad they are making her name reappear in the news to try and get more answers! I feel so bad for this family... I was a teenage rebellion too and just to know that i could have been her... Makes me thank my lucky stars i had angels surrounding me. I hope they find some answers soon for this family needs a body to put at rest so everyone surrounding this young female could be put at ease.
