Case []
Details: Nineteen year old Tammy Mahoney attended State University of New York Morrisville, planning to be a veterinarian. On May 8, 1981, she was hitchhiking on Route 46, heading to Hamilton, New York. She was believed to have been picked up and taken to a party on the Oneida Indian Reservation. Some witnesses reported seeing her at a party there that night. She was never seen alive again.
Information has been given to law enforcement that claims that she was gang-raped and murdered at that party that night. Investigators have between twelve and fourteen suspects in the case, but do not have enough evidence to make an arrest.
Suspects: Authorities have several suspects in the case, but none have been publicly identified.
In 2003, the Madison County sheriff believed the case was ready for grand jury, believing that he had identified the people responsible for Tammy's murder. However, the U.S. Attorney did not move forward with it.
Extra Notes: This case was uploaded to the Unsolved Mysteries website on March 20, 2015. The person interviewed in the video is Tammy's high school friend, Mike.
Interestingly, Tammy worked at Vernon Downs, a horse farm that Bruce Clark worked at before he and his girlfriend Sandy vanished in 1964.
Results: Unsolved. As of 2019, a $40,000 reward is being offered in the case.
