Found Deceased FL - Tammy Alexander, 16, Brooksville, 8 Nov 1979

Some families like to believe their loved one found a place in the world away from them while others believe the more likely reality.

Tammy’s family always stated they thought she’d started a new family somewhere out there, away from them.

It was for the first report. The frequent run aways is also the most likely reason they wouldn’t take a report seriously.

If it was submitted for the alleged first missing persons report. Wouldn't the police for her remains have made a positive identity based on the DNA the family submitted? I mean, when Tammy first went missing before she was identified via a sketch.

Also, I swore Pamela said they never submitted a missing persons report.

That is what I'm thinking, but her report should have been kept for a few years after she turned 18.

Exactly.

I thought that was her sister. I was referring to her mother and the obituary.

I know, that's what makes no sense. Didn't Tammy leave a letter when she left? I mean, if Pamela assumed she was alive, why not the rest of her family? We have no confirmation that the family was the one who said Tammy was dead in the obituary. (I think?)

I just find the whole thing odd is all.

The letter was to her best friend.

The letter was to her best friend.

Did the friend know Tammy's family? Maybe she showed them the letter? I know I would have.

Probably not. But their names are mentioned in the letters.

Wow there’s are incredibly hard to read. Especially reading about her favourite songs. How do you have these, I hope you don’t mind me asking? Are you who she was writing too?

Poor beautiful girl. She’s in the kingdom of heaven now.

The photos were on the podcast’s website, but the website now redirects to Democratandchronicle.com. I had to go through the wayback machine to find them.
I believe these letters were written to her best friend
