The Abduction & Murder of Patricia Kaye Humphreys

The Abduction & Murder of Patricia Kaye Humphreys

Author: TTC Productions July 21, 2025 Duration: 24:52
In Houston, Texas, the 1970s was a decade marred by violent crime. From high-risk adults to completely innocent children, the era saw little mercy. When 15-year-old Patricia “Pat” Humphreys, her sister Deb, and friends went to the Thunderbird Twin Drive Inn, it was supposed to be a carefree night. It was the first night, in fact, that Pat and Deb were given the responsibility of taking the family car out. But during intermission, Pat parted ways from the group, and she was never seen alive again.
