In this new episode, Crawlspace Media's Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna discuss the mysterious disappearance of Leigh Occhi from Tupelo, Mississippi on August 27th, 1992.
On August 27, 1992, 13-year-old Leigh Occhi vanished under mysterious circumstances from her home in Tupelo, Mississippi, after her mother left for work during the approach of Hurricane Andrew. When her mother returned a short time later, she found the house covered in blood but no sign of Leigh, whose body was never found despite an anonymous sender mailing her eyeglasses to the family weeks later.
If you have any information in the disappearance of Leigh Occhi, please contact the Tupelo, Mississippi Police Department at (662) 841-6491 or the MBI Cold Case Unit at (601) 987-1500.
