00:00:00
For Tiffany Ross, April 5th, 1987 begins, like many other lazy Sundays, hanging out at her grandmother's house
00:00:06
in Dorchester, South Carolina. Tiffany's family is really tight-knit, so people are always in and out of the house. And
00:00:13
on this day, it is her uncle Philip, who stops by. Tiffany's only eight, so she's
00:00:17
not part of her uncle and her grandma's conversation. But she can hear clear as day when Philip says that his wife,
00:00:24
32-year-old Sarah Boyd, and their 2-year-old daughter Kimberly, are missing. Philip hasn't seen them since
00:00:30
Friday, April 3rd, when they left to go to a gospel concert with Sarah's 32-year-old friend, Linda McCord. Now,
00:00:36
it was supposed to be a quick thing. I mean, like to the concert was only like a 30 minute drive from where they live
00:00:42
in Dorchester. And in that moment when she hears this, this sparks a memory for little Tiffany. Maybe a sign that
00:00:48
everybody missed a day earlier that something was wrong. You see, Sarah stopped by her mom's house every day
00:00:54
after work. So Tiffany was standing in that same kitchen on Friday when Sarah asked her mom if she wanted to come with
00:01:01
them to that gospel concert, but she said no. And so mom and daughter agreed that they would see one another the next
00:01:08
day. But they didn't stop by the house the next day like they said they would. After Sarah and Kimberly got into
00:01:15
Linda's 1977 Blue Lincoln and drove off, no one had gotten so much as a phone call from Sarah.
