In this episode of Lost Girls, hosts Amy Smith and LaDonna Humphrey explore the unsolved murder of Susan Galvin, a 20-year-old records clerk for the Seattle Police Department. In July 1967, Susan was last seen leaving work but never made it home. Days later, her body was discovered in a parking garage near the Seattle Center, with evidence of strangulation and sexual assault. Despite extensive investigations, her killer remained unidentified for decades.

With the advancement of forensic technology, investigators finally linked a suspect to the crime in 2019—an entertainer active in the 1960s—though he had died in 1987, leaving no possibility for prosecution. While this revelation provided some answers, Susan's case remains a tragic reminder of justice delayed. The hosts emphasize the importance of continued efforts in solving cold cases and encourage anyone with information to come forward.

The case of Patricia Kubik is one that has haunted Sacramento for decades—a young woman with a bright future, brutally murdered, and still, after all these years, no answers.

In 1977, Patricia was just 21 years old, living in Sacramento, California. She was kind, ambitious, and full of life. She had dreams for her future and was well-loved by those who knew her. But those dreams were stolen from her on October 1st, 1977.

That morning, Patricia left her home, just as she always did, heading to work. But she never arrived. As the day passed and she failed to return home, concern turned to dread. Then, the unthinkable happened—her body was found in a field near Watt Avenue and Auburn Boulevard. She had been strangled.

Her discovery painted a grim picture. Patricia’s body was partially clothed, raising suspicions of a possible sexual assault, though the evidence was inconclusive. What was clear was that she had been murdered, and her belongings, including her purse, were missing.

Investigators worked tirelessly, questioning acquaintances, coworkers, and anyone who may have seen Patricia the morning she disappeared. But despite their efforts, no strong leads emerged. No suspect was ever identified.

Over the years, law enforcement has revisited Patricia’s case, hoping that advances in forensic technology might reveal something that had previously been missed. But so far, no breakthroughs have come.

For Patricia’s family, the pain never faded. They have never stopped seeking answers, never stopped hoping that someone, somewhere, might come forward with the missing piece of the puzzle. They believe someone knows what happened to Patricia, and they are still waiting for justice.

Her murder remains a tragic example of how many cases go unsolved, leaving families with endless questions and unbearable grief. But Patricia’s story, like so many others, deserves to be told. Because these women matter. Because their lives mattered.

If you have any information about the murder of Patricia Kubik, please contact the Sacramento Police Department. Even the smallest detail could be the key to solving this case.

Until then, we will continue to share these stories. Because every lost girl deserves to be found. Every girl deserves justice.

The story of a missing child is one that lingers, a wound that never fully heals. For the family of Deborah Elaine Quimby, the pain of her disappearance has stretched across decades, a mystery that refuses to fade.

Deborah was just 13 years old when she vanished without a trace. She was a bright, adventurous girl, full of life, known for her love of the outdoors and the strong bonds she shared with her friends and family in Townsend, Massachusetts. Her world was one of childhood innocence, but that world was shattered on May 3, 1977—the day she left home on her bicycle and never returned.

That day began like any other. Deborah told her parents she was going for a bike ride and would be back soon. It was a simple, ordinary outing, nothing to raise concern. But when time passed and she didn’t return, worry set in. Her bicycle was later discovered abandoned near Pearl Hill State Park, but there was no sign of Deborah. She had simply vanished.

Authorities launched a massive search, combing through the park and surrounding areas. Police, volunteers, and search teams worked tirelessly, hoping to find any clue that could explain what had happened. But there was nothing—no footprints, no witnesses, no trace of the 13-year-old girl.

Over the years, theories about her disappearance have emerged. Some believe she may have been abducted, taken by someone who was watching, waiting for the right moment to strike. Others speculated that she ran away, though those who knew Deborah best insisted that wasn’t possible. She was happy, she was loved, and she had no reason to leave.

One of the most haunting aspects of Deborah’s case is the silence that has surrounded it. There have been reported sightings, tips, and possible leads over the years, but none have brought her home. Her case remains one of Massachusetts’ longest-running missing persons cases—an open wound in the history of the town.

But through the passage of time, one thing has remained constant: Deborah’s family has never given up. They have continued to fight for answers, to push for her case to stay in the public eye, and to hold onto hope that someone, somewhere, knows something. Her case has been reopened multiple times, and with advancements in modern investigative tools—such as DNA analysis and forensic genealogy—authorities remain hopeful that the missing piece of the puzzle will eventually come to light.

Deborah’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of the countless families still searching for answers, of the voices that have been lost but should never be forgotten. These stories deserve attention. Every missing person deserves justice.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Deborah Elaine Quimby, please contact the Townsend Police Department or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Her family deserves closure, and Deborah deserves to be found.

The Lost Trail: The Murder of Shari Lynn Roth

The trail to Sawyer Pond was one of Shari Lynn Roth’s favorite escapes—a place of peace and solitude, nestled within the White Mountain National Forest. The 22-year-old had always felt a deep connection to nature, balancing her love for the outdoors with a compassionate career dedicated to helping others. As a recent graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, she had settled into the scenic town of North Conway, New Hampshire, where she worked tirelessly as a counselor and advocate for her community.

But on August 21, 1977, that same beloved trail became the scene of a chilling tragedy. Shari set off alone for an afternoon hike, just as she had done many times before. When she failed to return that evening, her friends’ concern quickly turned into panic. They reported her missing, igniting a massive search effort across the rugged terrain.

Three days later, on August 24, searchers made a heartbreaking discovery. Shari’s body was found off the Sawyer Pond Trail, stripped of clothing, her life stolen in a brutal act of violence. The autopsy confirmed what investigators feared—she had been strangled to death, likely on the very day she disappeared.

The investigation began with urgency, with authorities pleading for information from the public. Witnesses recalled seeing a red Volkswagen Beetle with New Hampshire plates near the trail around 5 p.m. on the day of Shari’s disappearance. The occupants of the vehicle were never identified, and as the years passed, leads dwindled.

Over four decades later, Shari’s murder remains unsolved. The weight of unanswered questions still lingers for her family and friends, who continue to seek justice. Someone, somewhere, may hold the key to unlocking the mystery of her death.

The White Mountains still whisper with the stories of those who have walked their paths. Among them is Shari’s—a life dedicated to helping others, tragically cut short. And though time has passed, her case is not forgotten. Justice is still within reach.

If you have any information regarding the murder of Shari Lynn Roth, please contact the New Hampshire Cold Case Unit at (603) 271-2663, email coldcaseunit@dos.nh.gov, or submit a tip through the Cold Case Unit Tip form.

Justice Denied – The Tragic Case of Taylor Barksdale

In the quiet town of Huntsville, Arkansas, a devastating story unfolded—one of neglect, systemic failure, and a tragic loss that should have never happened.

Taylor Barksdale was a vibrant 30-year-old woman with dreams, loved ones, and a future ahead of her. But in the summer of 2024, she vanished. Her family desperately searched for answers, but instead of support from the very institutions meant to protect her, they were met with silence.

Despite being reported missing, Taylor’s name was never entered into a national database. There was no public appeal for help, no Amber Alert—no widespread effort to bring her home. It was as if, to the system, she had never existed.

Then came a moment that should have changed everything.

On August 5, 2024, a desperate 911 call was placed from Kingston, Arkansas. A local resident, disturbed by the chilling sound of a woman’s screams—screams that could only be described as torture—reached out for help. The call was their plea for intervention, their attempt to prevent an unspeakable crime.

But no help came.

Deputy Hassell, assigned to respond, never did. No officers arrived. No one checked. Taylor’s fate was sealed by inaction.

More than a month later, on September 9, Taylor’s remains were discovered. By then, any chance of rescue had long passed. Evidence that could have led to justice was lost to time and the elements.

The sheriff’s department admitted failure. Staffing shortages were cited, an apology was issued, and the deputy resigned. But a resignation does not equate to justice. Taylor’s life was stolen, and the very system meant to protect her let her slip through the cracks.

The question now is—will Taylor’s case finally receive the attention it was denied from the beginning? Will those responsible be held accountable? And how many more lives must be lost before change is demanded?

Taylor Barksdale was more than a name in a case file. She was a daughter, a friend, and a woman who deserved better.

If you have any information about Taylor’s disappearance or murder, please come forward. Her story deserves to be heard, and she deserves more than to be forgotten.

Justice must not be denied any longer.

The latest episode of Lost Girls takes listeners into the mysterious disappearance of 25-year-old Tiffany Daniels, who vanished from Pensacola, Florida, on August 12, 2013. Tiffany, a talented artist and theatre technician at Pensacola State College, had requested a week off from work that afternoon. She clocked out at 4:43 p.m.—and was never seen again.

Later that evening, Tiffany’s gray Toyota 4Runner was spotted crossing the bridge to Pensacola Beach, but authorities have never been able to confirm who was behind the wheel. Eight days later, a jogger discovered the abandoned vehicle at Park West, near Fort Pickens. Inside, investigators found her belongings, including her cell phone, wallet, clothing, and even a jar of peanut butter—yet no sign of Tiffany herself.

Despite extensive searches, no trace of her has ever been found. With no clear evidence of foul play, speculation about Tiffany’s fate has ranged from voluntary disappearance to human trafficking. Over the years, her family has received anonymous tips and possible sightings, fueling hope that she may still be alive. Meanwhile, her vehicle remains impounded by the Pensacola Police Department, held in the belief that advancing technology could one day unlock critical clues.

This episode explores the unanswered questions surrounding Tiffany’s last known movements, the people in her life, and the heartbreaking uncertainty her loved ones continue to endure. If you have any information about Tiffany Daniels, please contact the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at 850-436-9630.
