It was around noon on March 18th, 1965 when six-year-old Kathleen Ann Shea walked out of her family’s home on 14th Street in Tyrone, Pennsylvania, heading back to school after lunch.
She’d already gone to her morning classes and come home like usual. Her dad offered to drive her back for the afternoon, but she decided to walk the short distance instead.
At several points between 15th and 16th Street, neighbors had seen her along the way. A crossing guard even helped her get across 15th. Not long after that, she stopped and talked with another neighbor for a minute. That neighbor later said she seemed completely fine, just having a normal conversation, nothing that stood out. When she finished talking, she continued on to school which was only four blocks away, but she never made it there.
It wasn’t until 4:45 that afternoon, when she didn’t come home, that anyone realized something was off. A search was organized and bloodhounds were brought in that traced her to Garfield Street, just one block from the school. But that’s where it the trail went cold.
More than fifty years later, Kathleen Ann Shea has never been found, and whatever happened in that final block between Garfield Street and her school remains unknown.
