On the first day of Fall in 1972, thirteen year old Gail Joiner rushed home from school to her parents house in Thonotosassa, Florida. An hour later, the teen attached a leash to her beloved pet racoon's collar and strode out of the house to take him on his daily walk. She never returned.

Despite exhaustive searches involving more than 200 people, not a trace of Gail was ever found. Within a month of her disappearance the case had grown cold and the investigation was scaled back. For the next decade, her case lingered in the limbo of joining other cold case files.

Then in October of 1982, a confessed serial killer took credit for Gail's murder. After allegedly leading police to where he had disposed of her body, Gerald Stano retracted his confession and Gail's remains were never found. Had Stano been responsible, or was this another case of a murderer taking credit for crimes he didn't commit?

A pet raccoon? That's awesome.

Wait, a runaway juvenile had bite marks on her hand and initially said she met a girl with a raccoon in a vacant home.... Seems like something that should have been seriously followed up on, although idk how much it would help. Very sad... she seems like a very unique girl who was loved very much by her family and community. Crimes of violence against women and children need to start coming with much more severe punishments. No more mercy for the merciless. Thank you for sharing and all you do, and I hope you get a break soon Steven.
