MA MA - Sandra Crispo, 54, Hanson, 7 August 2019

[detectorhector]

Just to play devil's advocate....in the later articles about the disappearance (the ones reporting that state police had taken over the investigation), the daughter says that she believes there was evidence inside the home that Sandra was taken and it's evidence that was overlooked the first time the house was searched. Clearly she has something specific in mind but we don't know what it is and she can't say because of the investigation. The lifted bed boards have been reported in MSM so is it that or something else? The state police do, in fact, take over the case instead of dismissing the "evidence." So, I'm not sure what kind of evidence of a struggle can also be easily overlooked, but there is something (about the state of the house? We just don't know) that led the daughter to believe that.

Secondly, about the dog. Maybe the dog barks constantly anyway (the daughter described the dog as "always jumping around," so maybe its excitable and a flurry of barking would not be thought strange by the neighbors). Alternatively, some dogs just aren't barkers and may be quiet in situations where others would be barking like crazy. Third possibility...maybe she left willingly with someone who she knows and the dog didn't bark much because he was familiar with the person. I don't think we can infer anything about a possible abduction by what's been said about the dog.

Do you have a link to an article that talks about that part about the daughter saying there was evidence inside the home pointing to her being taken?

Yes...this one from Boston 25 News talks about how she thinks there was evidence in the home that was not readily seen the first time police looked: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...Vaw2wbbcZ4ZAlP5hWVr0K46b3&cshid=1572704803557

Then a separate article from the Boston Herald from October 3rd talks about how there may be evidence that she can't talk about (it's in context of the police returning to search the home again): Daughter fears for mom who vanished from Hanson home – Boston Herald

I do tend to lean towards foul play, but am baffled over a possible motive. When I think of the common ones, I think of domestic violence/love gone bad, money, and revenge. Given her lifestyle, revenge doesn't even seem to be plausible, so that leaves us with money and love gone wrong. I guess random serial killer, as implausible as it usually is, is also a possibility here. I don't think this was a robbery gone wrong or anything, crime scene seems to clean and many times they don't bother to take the body with them.

1. Love gone wrong - doesn't seem that there was even anyone on the radar, based on what we know thus far. But that doesn't mean there's someone in the picture that the family didn't know about. I would think there would be some record or history of it somewhere, even if it's on her landline.

2. Money - as I said above, I don't think robbery gone wrong. No evidence of a robbery, first of all. As far as long-term money, like an inheritance or something, Sandra seems like a woman of modest means, but you never know. Life insurance? Money under the mattress? Still a possibility to me.

3. Revenge - seems highly unlikely.

It's still definitely a possibility that she walked away, but her grandchildren seemed to be super important to her. I don't know! So puzzling!!!

Does Sandra have any children under the age of 21? Step-children? The recent ex spouse who might not want to be named?

Didn’t this person have the young children in the car also? So it’s someone that has car seats and who the daughter trusts driving her children.

@UnapologeticallyAspie
Has LE or MSM identified which family member drove Sandra home from the mechanic on Wednesday? I haven’t seen it.

No.
I tried going back to edit my post but it doesn’t give me that option.

Sandra doesn't have a RECENT ex-spouse...she's been divorced a long time. Like 10 plus years. Her children are all 21+.

Hopefully the search will at least eliminate areas close to Sandra's home. Sure hope it's helpful for family and friends to be out searching. Good chance to speak to people local as well. Prayers for all out Searching and for Sandra of course. The odd circumstances bother me , as with so many of our missing cases. MOO

Hi,

New here...I read through the whole thread and I hope I am not repeating anything, but I just watched the video on her getting out of the truck and going into the Cumberland Farms. I know this seems like such a minor thing, but I had to bring it up. I watched it over and over again, and I noticed when she was getting out of the car, it didnt look like she had her purse on her left arm. She shuts the door and looks like she headed straight to the store. I only bring this up because her purse is fairly large when it shows the video footage from inside the store. I know, minor insignificant thing, and I could be wrong, I just wanted to get it out there. Plus, with a big purse like that, I can't imagine someone taking it on a power walk. I'm a smoker and I wouldn't carry a purse like that to hold my cigarettes while going on a walk.

Sorry, I don't know where to find rules of posting and this is my first one, so please correct anything if I've done anything wrong.

*Edit: I think maybe since there was a cut in footage she might have realized she forgot her purse and went back to the truck to get it, or it was on her arm and I just didn't see it.

Thank you!

I have been following this story and on the local social media pages, and nothing adds up with it. (Edit** I removed a part of my post because it referenced rumors/speculation, and with reading the rules I realized I should not have added it in)

I really hope this family finds answers soon, as this has gone on too long..

 

[Luckyzmom]

If you go to the home page you will find the rules.. We can only post verified info from source in Maj media or LE. No Fb because of the rumors. But I get where you are going with that. We try to work with the verified information. Makes the exchange of thoughts and info much more solid. Glad always to have more eyes on the case !

Oh, thank you! Sorry about that...I had a feeling when I was writing that I shouldn't be mentioning it. I'll take a look at them now. I didn't mean to spread rumors...I just didn't know if it could provide any insight. Oops, I'm not sure if I should edit that out.

So now you have my mind racing. We live in the next state over and my aunt and uncle experienced a violent, but not deadly home invasion. A few of us believe that my uncle may have got involved with people that he borrowed and then owed money to. Maybe SC was mixed up in something and got in over her head and her family didn’t know about it. I suppose it could be something so simple like an informal sports betting for money or something. It seems harsh to think that it would happen to a grandmother living alone, but then again, when I was little, the grandmother that lived next door to my family had a home invasion. A man dressed as a utility worker said they needed to check the meter inside the home. She let them in-and they beat her up and stole all they could find. But for SC, there was no apparent sign of struggle and no obvious mess, aside from mention of the bed boards. And then there is the missing purse. IMO

Is there any likelihood of hearing if anything was found during Sunday's volunteer search?

I think it's doubtful right now. Media in Boston is not running with this story very much and the family seem to be taking LE's words on not speaking about items related to the open investigation seriously.

I just messaged a friend in a hobby group who lives in SC's area. She's heard nothing locally about the case for some time now, and wasn't aware of the search.

But she brought up the question of whether Sandra is possibly being held captive somewhere, which I don't think has been mentioned here. Far fetched to be sure, but as my friend said, "better than the alternative."

Hopefully some (good) news soon.

I feel like a lot of people who live in this area often think back to a shocking case that happened nearby where a man held his own girlfriend hostage and no one knew where she was for a month or something like that. It happened around 2012 if I remember correctly but it was such a horrific case of domestic abuse that people - in and around Plymouth County especially - still think whenever a woman disappears, I wonder if it's not the same type of thing?

I wonder what the national statistics are on stranger abductions for women in Sandra's age group. How frequently do they occur, are they part of the commission of another crime, etc. Because I sort of get the impression that a stranger abduction is what Sandra's family feels has happened.

I think what you saw @Waitasecond in the video re her purse not being with her when she got out of the car and then there with her in the store is really interesting. (I think I am understanding what you are saying and will go back to look also.) Thank you for that insight.

This was a different user's take about the purse, not mine. Personally I see her purse under her arm.
