I don't know what to make of that LE comment either, I'm not sure if it really meant that she had specific connections to homeless populations or that it was just something they had to rule out as it's one way a person could "disappear." I would think, though, that her daughter would probably not allow the children to be full time at her house/sleep over, etc if she also knew or suspected transient people would be coming and going. I certainly wouldn't.
I would love to hear LE's explanation for that comment myself. It didn't pan out. So, where did they hear that it was possible she had connections to the homeless, and why, of all nights for her to possibly connect with a homeless person, on the night she disappeared without a trace, without her car?

I’m not allowed to link it here but there is a GoFundMe to bring Sandra home.

I just don't understand what could've happened to this poor woman. :(

It is indeed puzzling for LE to mention the homeless community, in the context of Barbara's disappearance.
My feeling is that LE must have had a reason for saying it.
If a squatter had been using the house, before B. moved in, that could be very significant.

I am confused- who is Barbara? Did you mean Sandra?

Very peculiar case, especially since there is not much crime in the immediate area. I've spent lots of time in the area, and the last big crimes we had were break-ins, but this was back in 2017 IIRC. I can't remember if anything was stolen from any of the houses or not, though. I've heard of a few cases of attempted kidnapping around this time too, unsure if anyone was ever caught.

Looking at the Hanson MA public logs right now of that week (which includes Sandra's case, page 17 under "Walk-in - MISSING PERSON"), there isn't anything too suspicious, mostly just area checks and medical emergencies. Though what I do want to note is that there were a few burglar alarms that had gone off around town the days prior to her disappearance. These probably aren't connected, but I just wanted to point them out if nobody else already has. I know some of them say they're "defective", but you never know, I suppose.

Hope Sandra is found soon!

Hanson: Vigil Held for Sandra Crispo, Missing for 60 Days
Hundreds of people in Hanson attended a vigil for Sandra Crispo, a 54-year-old resident who disappeared 60 days ago.

[...]

McMahon says they’re looking every day. They’re hoping someone comes forward with information. The State Police took over the investigation last week, but there have been no new updates.

[...]

KB, Crispo’s niece, says her aunt is a fun-loving, energetic person that loves her family.

“She kept to herself,” said Berry. “She had a few friends, but she would never just disappear unless there was some sort of foul play.”

[...]

Vigil marks 2 months since former Quincy woman disappeared
HANSON — Sandra Crispo loved her dog, a so-called “pound mutt” named Clarence. But even more than that, she loved her grandchildren.

“Every day, she was showered with love by those boys,” said KB, Crispo’s niece. “We will not stop searching. We will not give up hope until Aunt Sandra is found.”

[...]

Vigil-goers wore pins bearing Crispo’s face and physical details as they listened to speeches from her family mixed in with music and a prayer. Parents in the crowd wrapped their arms around their children, and at the end of the ceremony, each person lit a small candle.

This is probably way way out there, and feel free to say so. Is there a slight chance that Sandra was kidnapped?

I don’t think it’s way out there. This case reminds me of Molly Tibbetts though. But with her, they had a digital footprint and some security footage. As someone mentioned. a car not in the driveway and an unlocked door could mean a robbery go wrong. But I feel like she may have been watched or knew the person. Just the lack of any evidence of struggle is odd. But maybe the family will get some clues and answers soon. IMO

She's been gone so long now that I think anything is possible at this point.

Another case this reminds me of in one way- the McCall's. Husband and wife just disappeared without a trace- although during day light hours, they were found almost a year later a bit of aways from their home. Their lights were on, their house looked normal, no sign of a struggle. While it appears that one of their neighbors is a POI, LE has never said much more about it since the McCall's were found. Like Sandra, the McCall's had plans for the next day- I believe they were going back home to another house for a few months- something about a business they owned, unrelated to the case, from all appearances.

Still- Sandra just moved there recently. Makes me wonder if someone from her past, an old friend, ex boyfriend, etc, might have dropped by that night and things went wrong.

My fear has been foul play. Lights on, back door unlocked A/C on , dog left alone. None of us missed that as a red flag ! Getting tired of hearing every adult has the right to disappear, well yes so there needs to be evidence of violence or a struggle to move an investigation into gear? Bunk ! If it was a member of their family it would be on !!!! This lady has absolutely no history of walking away without notifying her family, there's no history at all to lead a reasonable person to think this was voluntary ! And all these days of no investigation are lost !! How often do we see this. It's terrifying if the missing person needs help ! Is a victim of Lord knows be what ! Please forgive me, I try to let the evidence lead and to be impartial and imperial, but to me the circumstances of Sandra's vanishing has red flags !!! Praying for you Sandra and family and friends and her best buddy MOO And as always Thanks to you all ! You are awesome

Has there been any reference to what her occupation was prior to Stay-at-Home Grandmother?

This is exactly my thoughts as well.

Yes, people do leave on their own, for various reasons. However, most don't. Those that do, usually have either depression issues, are in trouble with the law somehow, or try to leave an abusive relationship. Most don't make plans with others, move closer to their children recently, have their car fixed, then leave- especially their precious doggie without food and water.

To our knowledge, Sandra had none of those things going on. Her family is legitimately worried. As I mentioned before- in the case of the McCall's, it took their children forever for LE to take the case serious- no sign of a struggle at the house doesn't mean that they went willingly! Someone could have had a gun pointed at Sandra, maybe even threatened to hurt her or her family or dog, and she may have gone willingly, hoping for the best- probably like Jerry and Susan McCall.

It angers me when cases like this aren't taken seriously. I mean, where in the heck did LE get that Sandra might be around the homeless and connections to the homeless- what does that even mean? Did she previously volunteer at a homeless shelter, make meals for the homeless- where did this connection come from, and what made them conclude in the very beginning that she might be amongst the homeless in some capacity, ESPECIALLY when her car was in the shop for repairs!!!!!!! How did they think she got there? Walking late at night? On a whim, she just decided in the middle of the night to go, um, where exactly, to get to this homeless connection? Did they ever define exactly what that homeless connection was?

I am just angry for her family and dog right now. Something happened to this woman, in my opinion. I just can't help but think of the McCall's- nothing seemed out of place to LE. Also, even in Kelsey Berreth's case, LE did a check through her condo, didn't see nothing out of the ordinary, didn't bother with using luminol- it was Kelsey's family that found a few things that they showed to LE, indicating something happened to her at her condo on Thanksgiving.

With some (NOT all) LE, I sometimes wonder why they don't take families serious when they say their loved one would never leave like this. Again, just because nothing was obvious to them to the naked eye, doesn't mean that a gun wasn't pointed at her or that if there was indeed foul play that occurred at her home- the killer could have done a decent clean up job, like in Kelsey's case.

I hope that she is alive and well somewhere, but my gut tells me that's not the case here.

Well, to play the devil's advocate:

Even if the police took it totally seriously, and assumed that someone removed her from her home with a gun--where does that leave them?

No witnesses, no cameras, no cell phone to track, no evidence at the house. Basically, in the same place that they are now.

I'm hoping that the police have considered a lot of different options, but have chosen not to make them public so as not to tip anyone off.

At this point--I'm leaning towards that she took a walk and something happened. If an accident, I'm hoping that she's found soon--have they REALLY searched that nature preserve by her house? Like with 100 people and dogs? If a person with ill intent, we might be waiting for a long time for something to break.

They could have done luminol testing.

They waited for several weeks- when it was turned over to the state police, to send in a crime lab to do some testing- they went back again a second day, too. That could mean they might have found something and wanted to check other areas of the house, or maybe they found nothing at all.

Foot prints- I didn't hear of them checking to see if there was an adult foot print near one of her doors that wasn't Sandra's. Was the dog checked over for any blood or anything in their fur that might have been from a perp, if there is one?
