Tammy Lynn Leppert
Eighteen-year-old model and actress Tammy Lynn Leppert walked away from a car near Cocoa Beach’s Glass Bank on July 6, 1983—and vanished. Weeks earlier, the once-outgoing pageant star told family she’d “seen something awful” and feared someone was going to kill her. In this episode, we trace her life and rising career, the sudden shift to paranoia, the last confirmed moments at the beach, the investigative missteps, and the leading theories that have shadowed this case for more than four decades.
