Real Name: Deborah Ann Wolfe
Case: Suspicious Death
Location: Fayetteville, North Carolina
Date: December 26, 1985
Details: Nurse Debbie Wolfe vanished after leaving work at 4pm on December 26, 1985; on the previous day, she had celebrated Christmas with her family. When she did not show up at work the next day, her family became concerned. Her parents, John and Jenny, and a friend, Kevin Gorton, went to her home, which was an isolated cabin seven miles outside of Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Because Debbie was particularly neat and meticulous, they were surprised at what they found in and around her home. Her car was parked in a different spot than usual, there were several beer cans scattered around the property, her dogs had not been fed, her uniform was thrown on the kitchen floor, and her purse was shoved under her bed.
They also found a strange message on Debbie's answering machine. It was recorded earlier that day, with the caller claiming that she had been gone from work for several days. This was incorrect because she had been at work the day before.
They searched the area surrounding a pond in Debbie's backyard. However, no trace of her was found. When Jenny tried to report her missing, she was told that the police would not become involved until seventy-two hours had passed. On December 31, five days after her disappearance, the sheriff's office finally began their investigation.
Bloodhounds were used to search for Debbie's scent, however, no trace of it was found. On the first day, a search of the pond was not done. On New Year's Day 1986, Jenny had two divers, Kevin Gorton and Gordon Childress, do so. Within just a few minutes, Gordon found two sets of footprints and drag marks at the bottom. He followed them until he came across Debbie's body. Strangely, it appeared that it had been placed in a burn barrel.
The police were brought to the scene and took Debbie's body from the pond. An autopsy determined that there were no drugs or alcohol in her system; the cause of death was determined to be drowning. However, Kevin, who was involved with search and rescue, believed that her death was not consistent with drowning. According to him, normal drowning victims would have their eyes and mouths wide open, along with their arms and hands stretched out. However, her body was not found in this condition. Also, it appeared to be clean, despite the dirtiness of the pond.
She had two older siblings and one younger, all brothers; in a tragic twist of fate, her oldest brother Jerry 'Pete' Wolfe Jr would also die young, passing in 1982 at the age of 27. At some stage Debbie's parents divorced, and in 1970 Jenny married - as the second marriage for both spouses - Army sergeant John Edwards.
