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

[Yemelyan]

I have assumed the person that drove Sandra to and from the mechanics was the grandkids father, and that he had them in the truck when he dropped Sandra off at home and then took the children to their house. Otherwise who was with the children until their parents returned from work?
Or was the person that took Sandra home via the convenient store a different person than the one with the children?

I agree with your assumption because of the presence of the kids. The family member who took her home is portrayed in all MSM articles as the same person who drove her to the mechanic in the first place.

Someone knew she was alone?
Was robbery a motive? Money hidden between the mattress and box springs?
Random person see her dropped off?
Or was it personal?

What about life insurance or inheritance?

Re: the bolded portion of your post, I'm wondering a lot about that myself.

Looking at the totality of circumstances around her disappearance and given the length of time she's been missing without any verified sightings of her, I think SC is deceased d/t foul play, and that the motive for the crime is some type of financial one.

JMO.

I see the last ten or so comments, all leaning in the same general direction.

You all know what they about “the love of money”.
I am really hoping that this is not the case in Sandra’s situation.

Definitely a possibility. Her father passed away “unexpectedly” in January 2018. I know estates do take a while to settle, especially if someone contests it. But I haven’t heard anything about that. Is it possible there was something going on with her father’s estate?

Not sure it’s allowed to link her father’s obituary, but it’s easy to find with google.

We are all leaning in the direction of common sense, IMHO.

I don't think there is a serial killer out there targeting grandmothers. She met with foul play at the hands of someone she knew. To find out who that person is, LE needs to ask "Who had something to gain from SC's death?" That's just basic detective work, IMHO.

I'm as confused as everyone else as to why everyone is referring to the person who brought the kids home and SC to the mechanic as "a family member" when it seems obvious that it was her son-in-law. JMHO, but I don't think he had anything to do with SC's disappearance. He had nothing to gain and a loving, dependable child care provider to lose if SC were suddenly gone. As someone mentioned upthread, her lights were on. Someone else came by later. MOO

I’ve always thought the driver has been LMC’s husband, the boys’ father. And not a POI. IMO

IMO and I’ve mentioned this before...I think that LE doesn’t really feel the need to throw someone’s name out to the pressers if they have been cleared...therefore, it’s an unnamed driver. The boys and her daughter are dealing with enough - the family also does not need the media’s attention on him.

 

[UnapologeticallyAspie]

What are we allowed to sleuth about SC’s case (& others for that matter)? I’ve read various posts all over this forum about this subject but I cannot seem to find a clear black/white answer.
Also, I just want to confirm that I cannot post about anything that is not in MSM if it has to do with a relative of the missing person(s), correct? Like for speculation purposes, correct?

eta: ^^ that’s a link

 

[OnlyFacts]

A family member has broken ranks and is starting to talk. If you look, you can find the same info. But it can't be brought here yet.

Start with Sandra's father's obituary and work outwards from there. Once you figure out the family relationships, there is information to be discovered. I hope we will get a fuller picture from police soon but I am not sure how much will come to light.

I'm so lost. HELP

Sandra Crispo, 54, moved from Quincy, Massachusetts to Hanson, Massachusetts to be closer to her grandchildren. Three months later, she vanished. Sandra was last seen on Wednesday, August 7, 2019, after dropping her car off at the mechanic to be repaired. Security footage shows Sandra getting out of the car and going into a Cumberland Farms to buy cigarettes. A few days later, her daughter went to drop the kids off at Sandra’s home, but no one was there. The back door was unlocked and her mother’s shoes and purse were gone. The lights were on and watermelon was on the table, cut up, ready to be eaten.

The Hanson Police Department has no reason to believe any foul play is involved, but are actively investigating and have called in the Massachusetts State Police to assist. Sandra is described as 5’9” tall, with hazel eyes and brown hair.

I mean...I’m glad they're keeping it in the news, but it seems like they took some liberties with the details.

These are just some late night musings and MOO. Thinking about the totality of what I know, it occurs to me that there is another question which needs to be asked, especially if, after investigating, the apparent answer to yours (bolded above) appears to be "No one." And that question is: If Sandra is known to be dead (and not just "gone,") who has something to LOSE?

So, nothing has happened, she hasn't been found, poor Sandra.

Just some food for thought. Foul play could cover other scenarios that don't strictly meet the definition of homicide. But since you can still go to jail for a very long time, it might be in your best interest to have someone disappear. <modsnip - comment being referred to has been removed>

Yes. More broadly we might ask, who wanted her gone and why? Maybe the motive is something as simple as rivalry or jealousy. Or maybe she was keeping a secret that someone didn't want exposed. But I don't think this was random. MOO
