On May 14, 2016, Shattered Lives Radio featured guests discussing three missing young girls from Tolland County in the state of Connecticut. The three girls have been missing since the late 1960’s, early 70’s.
Appearing on the episode were family members and investigators who updated listeners on their latest efforts to solve the cases and return the girls to their families.
The podcast was subsequently included with information about the cases in the Division of Criminal Justice section of the State of Connecticut website.

Host of Shattered Lives, Donna R. Gore, is also a State Outreach Coordinator for Wilmington, NC based CUE Center for Missing Persons. She spent several months coordinating the guests and information for the episode.
The discussion surrounding each case related details that are known, and the fact that there is no physical evidence available in any of the cases that would give investigators new leads.
