I started listening to Faded Out and Sticky Beak while working a 3rd shift job. And have always followed true crime. But Doreen's case took a hold of me from the start.I even emailed SD about the concrete that MV was pouring during those first couple of days when Doreen went missing. I had nightmares about this case so I took a break.I'm so glad to see there is more about this case and will be checking out the Walk Softly Children podcast.

I have been investigating Doreen's case for almost seven years and the police and DA have made it clear they will not be pursuing an arrest warrant or conviction at this time despite the mountains of evidence. My podcast, WALK SOFTLY CHILDREN (previously called "Sticky Beak") is a deep dive investigation into Doreen's life and disappearance, as well as the police investigation into her case. I have just obtained a ton of new records and audio from the police under the Freedom of information Act and am releasing new episodes as we speak - Season 4! I hope everyone will listen. I am here to answer any questions people may have, and thank you for your interest in Doreen's case.

Here is the podcast link. There is also a FB group I encourage everyone to join. Walk Softly Children
At one point, they denied your FOIA request due to the likelihood of upcoming action in the case. Is there any likelihood of them releasing the case file to you now that it's clear that they will not be pursuing action?

Walk Softly Children Podcast just released a new episode about Doreen's diappearance.

<iframe width="100%" height="180" frameborder="no" scrolling="no" seamless src="Food For A Monster - Audio player"></iframe>

On July 11, 1989, Rozanne Pelloni called the Wallingford Police Department to report that she’d been told Mark Vincent had “offed” his daughter Doreen. In a conversation lasting more than two hours, Rozanne struggled to get through to Sergeant Steve Davis. Despite her disturbing allegations about Mark and her obvious fear for her own safety, Sergeant Davis responded like a product of his time – a stereotypical 80s cop who placed little stock in anything she had to say. Providing historic and recent case studies of violence against women Tracey Thurman, Jennifer Magnano, Jennifer Dulos, and Karizmah Johnson, Jessica examines the struggles and lessons learned when it comes to Connecticut’s role in combating violence against women. And she wonders: if law enforcement had cared more about what the many women in Doreen’s story had to say, would we be any closer to finding her?

In 1985, before Thurman's Law, my coworker's daughter was stabbed to death on her front lawn, in front of her two small children, by her ex-husband. CT was so very bad in dealing with DV and enforcing protection orders. Sadly women weren't believed, weren't heard.

MV worked out of and lived a stone's throw from me, as of 2024, I don't about currently. It seems, IMO, Doreen has been relegated to his distant memory.

A well written student article...
