Tammy Mahoney update: Several witnesses have come forward in 1981 cold case, FBI says
Oneida, NY — Several witnesses have come forward in the case of Tammy Mahoney, a 19-year-old Central New York woman who disappeared after a party near Oneida in May 1981.
Her case has never been solved and her remains never found.
The FBI said Monday at a news conference in Oneida that the case is still very active, and several witnesses have come forward confirming information others have provided in the past.
“We have gained momentum, and we are making progress,’' said Janeen DiGuiseppi, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Albany Field Office. She said she could not elaborate on the witnesses or the information they confirmed.
She also said New York State Police have devoted more resources to the case including enlisting help from their Major Crimes Unit and also the Cold Case Unit in Albany.
“We investigate new leads every day,’' she said. “Forty-two years is too long.”
Mahoney’s sister, Marlene Laccesaglia, said at the news conference the uncertainty and lack of closure is difficult.
“It’s devastating for our family,’' she said. “But we feel happy and hopeful that police continue to pursue this case.”
The last update came more than a year ago, when FBI officials revealed Tammy Mahoney had hitchhiked to a party, and then left on foot after an altercation. That was in May 1981 and Mahoney, a SUNY Morrisville student from Long Island, was never seen again.
Her body has never been found. Investigators have suggested that she might have been gang-raped and murdered the night of May 8, 1981, and continue to follow leads in the case. FBI officials have said people are out there who know something and they continue to work the case keeping Mahoney’s disappearance in the spotlight.
Mahoney was hitchhiking on state Route 46 -- likely to see friends -- when she was picked up and taken to a party on Territory Road (East), a small side street that crosses Route 46, south of Route 5, the FBI has said
The FBI has offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of Mahoney’s body and/or the prosecution of those responsible for her disappearance. The Oneida Indian Nation also is offering a reward of $20,000.
Anyone with information can contact the local FBI office at (315) 731-1781.
