believe09,

Why don't you help me rule out a local, since you know the case and the town.
What area's of Townsend have been searched?

Well I like to think that all the information is not out there because it is going to help narrow down responsibility, jmo. Everything that is in the media is probably fair game for discussion-I remember hearing in my younger days that a whole lot of campsites in the area were searched, and of course Walker Pond was searched intitally, as well as the publicized searches from a few years ago. I suspect any friends of hers have been pretty heavily vetted as well as close family members; not uncommon in this kind of case.

What has always struck me from day one is why it was so clearly foul play and not that she just ran away never to return. And of course, as you mentioned, the FBI Behavioral Sciences unit has her case right now-I would like to know what the criteria is for them to take on a case? Do they take them on for a one-off so to speak...meaning a local who might have preyed upon just Debby for a particular reason?

I am still on the fence about the local thing, because I find the idea of snatching girls off of bikes pretty risky-yet it seems to have worked in at least a few cases that we have listed here.

Settling on a local brings with it a whole new set of considerations-why Debby? Was it just Debby? What's with the letters?

In regards to did she run away....

Answers to the following would have to be determined....was she happy at home?
did she get along with her parents?
how was her behavior at school?
was she pregnant? did she have a boyfriend how was that relationship?

For some reason...and not knowing any of these answers (expect people have said she wasn't pregnant)...I dismiss the runaway theory.......but I have no solid reason's why...

The notes clearly indicate unhappiness to something...but then she writes to her parents she is going to the grandparents later in the day. The note in the locker I tend to dismiss as an adolescent girl writing things down to express herself almost like a diary.

still thinking...
 
still thinking it's a local..........maybe she came across something unusual, something weird taking place on this country road which set off a rage or perversion in the other person and she fell into harms way?

believe...I take it you don't live in townsend is why you haven't said where vintage pond road is? (thinking this is the road where the grand parents lived)

no biggie I am off from work today and am gonna try my gps from the center and see where it is...
 
Not of much use probably but I came across this article today randomly and didn't think it had been previously posted here. I have no clue why this was posted in an Illinois newspaper. http://www.nwherald.com/articles/2004/06/27/main/archive-623938215024.txt

On a separate note Angelo Puglisi was taken from Lawrence, MA not Boston, MA. I was driving from Lawrence the other day and drove through Towsend. It's about an hour drive.
 
On August 20th, Deborah's LE contact information and her DNA status (available in CODIS) was updated on the Doe Network.

QUIMBY SEARCHERS `OPTIMISTIC'
Article from: The Boston Globe Article date: July 9, 2004 Author: Jack Encarnacao, Globe correspondent More results for: Deborah Quimby

Authorities say they think the remains of Deborah Quimby, who was last seen riding a bicycle near Walker Pond in Townsend in 1977, could be found today in the mud at the base of the drained pond.

Consulting and construction companies recently offered the free use of equipment, which will allow excavation crews to begin digging and screening mud early today, said Townsend Police Sergeant Travis Rixford. Preliminary analysis of the mud by a forensic anthropologist indicated that a full body could be preserved there, he said.

"A body could very well be intact," Rixford said. "We're feeling optimistic."

Two dogs trained to find remains have shown strong interest in a northeast section of the pond, about 30 feet from shore, where investigators think a body may lie under 5 to 10 feet of mud, according to Patrick Hannon, owner of Newton-based Massachusetts Environmental Associates, whose company is helping with the digging and has offered the use of some equipment.

Hannon said excavation at Walker Pond was set to begin yesterday until it was postponed due to concerns that the crane might tip over on the unstable mud. Extra supports were being laid down to ensure that digging can begin today, he said.

"Everyone is so convinced there's a whole body here," he said.

Hannon lent assistance after Police Chief Erving Marshall called off the investigation late last month, citing hazardous conditions encountered by rescuers.

Hannon said his interest was piqued by Marshall's appearance on television news explaining that Townsend police had run out of options in the search for Quimby, who was 13 when she disappeared.

"My father said successful people have a moral obligation to help," Hannon said, "and that's kind of stuck with me."

Representatives from another of Hannon's companies, Global Environmental Strategies of Newton, met with Marshall about two weeks ago and offered equipment such as off-road trucks to help in the search, free of charge.

"He was kind of shocked," Hannon said.

Marshall did not return calls seeking comment, but he told the Townsend Times last week that Hannon's offer was "the answer to our prayers."

Hannon then sought assistance from Stephen Barlow, chief operating officer of J.F. White Contracting of Framingham, who provided a crane.

"It's obviously a heart-wrenching thing for the family and the town doesn't have the resources, so we figured we'd lend a hand," Barlow said.

Barlow said he also sought help from trucking companies that donated vehicles and from the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 4 of Medway, which donated an equipment operator.

"Everybody kind of pulled together," he said.

Officials resumed draining the pond on Tuesday. Last month, investigators found remnants of a bicycle, some fabric, and two buttons in Walker Pond, which authorities began searching after receiving anonymous letters that said Quimby could be found there.

Quimby, who disappeared May 3, 1977, was last seen riding a brown boy's bicycle to her grandparents' house near the pond.

Letters to police prompt Mass. pond searches,: Girl disappeared in area in 1977
Article from: Sunday Gazette-Mail Article date: June 27, 2004 Author: Jay Lindsay More results for: Deborah Quimby

TOWNSEND, Mass. - The rural road that wanders past Walker Pond was the last place 13-year-old Deborah Ann Quimby was seen, pedaling her bicycle as she headed for a quiet place to think.

That was 27 years ago, and the decades since produced few leads. But anonymous letters sent to police in recent years have revived the long-dormant case.

This past week, police drained Walker Pond, then searched the muddy bottom for Deborah's remains, after the letters promised answers there.

The search, the second at the pond in two years, yielded a few articles of clothing and an old bike. But authorities don't know yet if the items are major clues because the pond was used as a dump until the late 1970s and holds all manner of junk.

Deborah's parents are grateful for the renewed effort to find their daughter, who would be 40 now.

"We hope that some of that turns into finding our daughter and puts an end to this," said Richard "Jake" Quimby. "We just want an end to it."

Deborah left home for her grandfather's campsite across town on May 3, 1977, riding a brown, boy's model 10-speed bike. A friend who accompanied her for a short time was the last person who saw her.

Quimby left a note for her parents, telling them she had "some issues" to deal with, but would phone later that day. The call never came.

Sheila Brown, who works at the town library, remembered people in this New Hampshire border town of about 9,200 inhabitants mobilizing to search for the teen and keeping closer watch on their own kids.

"There was a lot of frenzy going on," she said. "You've got a thousand and one different questions, and nobody has any answers."

The case grew stale over the years until November 2002, when police received an anonymous letter pointing them to Walker Pond. A search with sonar in May 2003 turned up nothing. A second letter sent exactly a year after the first urged police to look closer, prompting this year's search.

This time, police drained the pond about 20 to 30 feet from the original shoreline, focusing their attention on the pond's northwest corner.

Deborah, shown with long brown hair and a freckled nose in Internet "Missing" posters, is listed as a "non family abduction" by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Jake Quimby rejects theories that his daughter was taken by strangers and has said he thought Deborah might have been meeting someone she knew.

"When she left, it seemed like she had a destination in mind," he said. "To me, that's not being snatched."

Any number of scenarios have passed through his mind in the past 27 years.

"Your mind just naturally tries to piece things together," he said at a police news conference. He and Deborah's mother, Anne Quimby, declined to be interviewed.

Last week, the pond's newly exposed shoreline, dotted with old tires, had small orange flags sticking up from the deep brown muck where clothing and bike parts were found.

Police were initially unable to determine if the bike parts matched Deborah's, and sent the bike and clothing to a lab for analysis. The police chief said he wants to reinterview eight to 10 people who were considered "persons of interest" when Deborah disappeared.

Police won't say if the letters indicate the writer is the suspect or just someone with knowledge of the case. Sgt. Travis Rixford said the letter writer had a good grasp of Townsend's geography.

"I feel very strongly about the letters," Rixford said. "They're somewhat specific."

GLIMMER OF HOPE' IN '77 MISSING GIRL CASE PIECES OF FABRIC, BUTTONS, BIKE ARE PULLED FROM POND
Article from: The Boston Globe Article date: June 23, 2004 Author: Katie Nelson, Globe Correspondent More results for: Deborah Quimby

TOWNSEND Remnants of a bicycle, some fabric, and two buttons the most promising clues yet to the 1977 disappearance of 13-year-old Deborah Ann Quimby have been raked from the bottom of Walker Pond, Police Chief Erving Marshall Jr. said yesterday.

Police found the items Saturday but are awaiting scientific tests to determine if they belonged to Deborah, Marshall said.

Deborah's parents, Ann and Richard "Jake" Quimby, attended the news conference and again asked for answers to the decades of questions.

"For 27 years, my family has been in a lot of pain," Ann Quimby said.

"We're begging, if you know anything, let us know," Deborah's mother added.

The Quimbys said Saturday's findings offered a "glimmer of hope" that they would find out what happened to their daughter.

She was last seen riding a boy's 10-speed bicycle on a wooded Townsend road.

She was wearing a multicolored shirt, blue jeans, and a royal blue Pop Warner jacket.

Police also are attempting to locate and question eight to 10 "people of interest," who lived in the area when Quimby vanished, Marshall said.

The pieces of a bike frame, denim cloth, and two white buttons were in the murky Walker Pond, which authorities have been draining and combing for clues since June 15.

Two anonymous letters sent to police in north Middlesex County near Groton renewed the search.

Both typed letters, one sent in May 2003 and the other in November 2003, were in handwritten envelopes and directed police to search the spring-fed, 2-acre pond.

They were postmarked from Manchester, N.H., and Worcester, but Marshall said the letters were not necessarily mailed from there.

Even if they were mailed from Townsend, they could have been routed to the larger cities' post offices, then back to the police station's address.

On Thursday, police also found an article of clothing that appeared to be from the mid-1970s in the northwest corner of the pond.

Police dogs had led investigators there during past investigation attempts.

The items found Saturday were unearthed nearby, about 10 inches underground.

They were preserved because they had been buried in silt.

Photos displayed yesterday showed that the bike's color was indistinguishable, and the denim looked like a soft, muddy mass.

The letters and the items found last week are being examined by state and FBI crime-lab analysts.

Local and state police, firefighters, and other investigators have spent several hundred hours pumping millions of gallons of water out of Walker Pond and searching it in recent days, Marshall said.

But if nothing more is found by the end of this week, he said, the search may be suspended.

"Without a specific target area [in or around the pond], the idea of continuing this operation is overwhelming," he said.

Cops hope tipster helps search for girl.(News)
Article from: The Boston Herald Article date: June 19, 2004 Author: Richardson, Franci More results for: Deborah Quimby

Byline: FRANCI RICHARDSON

TOWNSEND - As investigators used sonar technology and a pole camera to search for the remains of a 13-year-old who vanished in 1977, the police chief here pleaded with an anonymous tipster who led them to this pond to tell all.

"What I'm waiting for is for that person to get back to me," said Townsend police Chief Erving Marshall, who was a 23-year-old rookie when Deborah Ann Quimby went missing. "If that person has any more credible information, then I would urge them to reconnect with me."

Marshall received two separate notes from an anonymous writer, urging him to scour Walker Pond, which is about a half-mile from where Quimby was last seen May 3, 1977.

The latest search of the pond by 30 to 40 police, fire and environmental officials began Tuesday - after the receipt of the second letter - and should last through the weekend, Marshall said.

On Thursday, police found an item of clothing under an old tire and rim on land at a remote section of the pond, which used to be a junkyard. Marshall refused to identify the garment, which has been taken to the state crime lab for testing. He said the piece of clothing "could have been from the era when she turned missing."

Quimby was last seen wearing a multicolored shirt, blue jeans and a blue Pop Warner jacket with "Debbie" on the sleeve.

Police focused on the location where the item was discovered also because it had four times attracted the attention of cadaver-sniffing dogs this week.

"I remain cautiously optimistic at this time," Marshall said of the recovery.

Many residents throughout the town couldn't help but hope for an end to the mystery of what happened to Deborah Ann, especially for her family.

"The family and town want closure," said Nellie Minor, who is 60 and has lived four houses down from Walker Pond since she was 3. "I just think it's sad how they have to do it."

Charles Rossbach's daughter, Cindy, was 10 when Deborah Ann disappeared.

"I was thinking (then) that it could have been my daughter," the 64-year-old dairy farmer said. "There was no reason why it wasn't my daughter. I was just lucky."

HOPE FADES AS SEARCH FOR MISSING GIRL ENDS
Article from: The Boston Globe Article date: July 23, 2004 More results for: Deborah Quimby

After 38 days of digging and combing the muddy bottom of a local pond, Townsend police ended the search yesterday for the remains of a 13-year-old girl who disappeared 27 years ago. However, officials said the investigation of Deborah Ann Quimby's disappearance is far from over. Police Chief Erving Marshall Jr. said the investigation will continue around the area, "in hopes of someday finding the answers that we are looking for in Walker Pond." Quimby was last seen riding a bicycle in a wooded area near Walker Pond in 1977. Two anonymous letters sent to Middlesex County authorities sparked the search, which started June 15. Marshall said a State Police laboratory analysis of the remnants of a bicycle and fabric raked from the pond produced no leads.

Cops send out dogs for '77 missing case.(News)
Article from: The Boston Herald Article date: June 21, 2004 More results for: Deborah Quimby

Townsend police plan to resume searching a pond today in hopes of resolving a missing-person case dating to 1977. That's when 13-year-old Deborah Ann Quimby was last seen alive.

Authorities stood guard at Walker Pond yesterday but did not search the site, where investigators have confirmed they found an item of clothing after cadaver-sniffing dogs focused on a spot in the pond area. The search was prompted by an anonymous letter.

Police find clothing in search for girl.(News)
Article from: The Boston Herald Article date: June 18, 2004 Author: Richardson, Franci More results for: Deborah Quimby

Byline: FRANCI RICHARDSON

As police followed an anonymous tip to find the body of a 13-year-old girl who vanished in 1977, they reportedly found a piece of clothing as cadaver-sniffing dogs focused on an area of a pond.

Police refused to elaborate on the clothing, but said they would bring in sonar equipment as they drained Walker Pond in an attempt to find the body of Deborah Ann Quimby, WBZ-TV reported.

Quimby disappeared May 3, 1977. She was last seen riding her bicycle about a half-mile from the pond.

Police said they are following a tip they received from an anonymous source that sent two specific letters urging a search of the pond.

When they first received the letter in November 2002, officials dredged the pond, but found nothing. The message in the second letter was "take a closer look," according to the Lowell Sun.

Police were still draining the pond last night, and expected to be done today.
 
I wonder what the results were on the objects found, if they could be determined if they were hers. My gut seems to tell me this person knew something.

Hi All,
I just found this thread. In regard to where Patti Luce was found; Marlborough, Connecticut is several towns south of the town of Vernon; where Patti and Lisa White were last seen.
www.marlboroughct.net/

BTW Patti and Lisa knew each other. They were childhood friends and members of the same youth cheerleading team.

Pictures of Lisa and Patti as well as information and links;

In regards to Deborah Ann Quimby and the various locations of the missing people under discussion here. I think it is unlikely that her abduction is related to the missing/unsolved murders in Connecticut. But I think it is also important to remember what Ted Bundy told the Green River Killer taskforce when they questioned him on Florida’s death row. I don’t have the exact quote but it was something like this “don’t think for a second that a serial killer will not travel up to 300 miles in a single day, in order to find a victim” So until additional information is available I would not completely rule out the possibility either.

I agree that it is a stretch to consider her a part of the Connecticut group of girls-on the surface it is compelling because of the bicycle aspect and her age.

If you take some time to drive or even Google earth the area, it doesn't appear to have the same kind of access to major roads that the cases in CT seem to have. Now, I am not expert in those cases-HMG and others are much better versed. But these were almost dirt roads back then.
