On October 1, 1986, Tracy Gilpin, 15, disappeared and was reported missing in Kingston. Three weeks later, her body was found in a makeshift grave in Myles Standish State Forest. During the autopsy, the medical examiner ruled the cause of death a large fracture in the skull and the manner of death a homicide. At the time, however, the culprit went unidentified. For more than thirty years, her family went without answers. Though she was 16 at the time of her sister’s death, she grew up to become the superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police. So, while the case was being investigated in the more recent years, she explained that she had to play two roles, the sister of a victim and a police officer, having to divide work and personal life.
