Author: Locating the Lost May 24, 2022 Duration: 57:43

On this episode we speak to the sister of Mary Tanner, Dr. Beth Goodwin and her continued fight for justice for the death of sister.


On the evening of July 7, 1978, 18-year-old Mary Ellen Tanner attended parties in a wooded section of Route 9 in Kennebunk and at the Kennebunk Beach.

Tanner left the Kennebunk Beach gathering in the company of friends and was dropped off at the intersection of Routes 9 and 35 in Kennebunk at approximately 11:30 pm. She indicated she was going to hitchhike home from that location.

On July 9, 1978, Tanner's body was discovered in Gracie Evans Field in Lyman. Several suspects have been interviewed, but her homicide remains unsolved.

If you have any information on the murder of Mary Ellen Tanner, please contact Maine State Police, Major Crimes Unit – South at 1 Game Farm Road, Gray Me 04039 or call them at 207-657-3030.


There are names that linger in the air of a town long after the news vans have left, and stories that exist only in the fragmented memories of those left waiting. Locating the Lost sits with those stories. This isn't a procedural rundown of cold cases, but a deliberate effort to recenter the human beings at the heart of every disappearance. Each episode focuses on a single person who has vanished, weaving together the details of their life, the circumstances of their last known moments, and the enduring impact of their absence on family and community. You'll hear the subtle tensions in a detective's voice, the raw hope in a sibling's recollection, and the heavy silence that follows an unanswered question. The goal here isn't sensationalism, but preservation-giving auditory space to narratives that risk fading from public consciousness. By tuning into this podcast, you become a witness to these searches, understanding that every case file represents a world upended. It's a sobering, necessary listen for anyone who believes that forgetting is a second disappearance.
