<p><strong>HER CASE HAD BEEN CLOSED-BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>On an unseasonably warm winter evening in Pennsylvania 15-year-old Patty Desmond sneaked out through the basement of her house. She had a history of running away and that combined with an argument with her mother gave police reason to suspect she'd come home in a week or two.</p><p><br></p><p>The year was 1965. That night was the last time her family ever saw her.</p><p><br></p><p>Conrad Eugene Miller was well-known to local law enforcement. An older married man with a child Miller's association with Patty was questionable at best. Yet he was the last person known to have seen her alive-and the suspect police continued to circle back toward.</p><p><br></p><p>After nothing but false sightings and rumors the case was moved to the backburner-where it stayed. As decades crept by reality sunk in: Patty Desmond was never coming back. Then a tiny crack unleashed a flood of information and a mystery that had never quite been forgotten was solved. </p><p><br></p>
