In July of 1972, residents in the Tacony neighborhood of Philadelphia witnessed a violent abduction right outside their homes. Nobody called the police. The next morning, 17-year-old Dolores Della Penna was confirmed missing and her family was sick with worry. Law enforcement canvassed the area and interviewed more than 100 people as the city of brotherly love offered their support to the heartbroken Della Penna family. Ten days after the abduction, a gruesome discovery in the pine barrens of New Jersey would lead to a decades-long investigation and the horrifying reality of what happened to Dolores Della Penna.
