the Connecticut area when Connie vanished. She is still missing. Barbara Gaca 7-year-old Barbara Gaca (born November 7, 1947) disappeared on March 24, 1955, after leaving home to walk to school six blocks away. In the Gratiot-Seven Mile neighbourhood of Detroit, she was last seen walking between her house and Assumption Grotto School, where she was enrolled. The distance between her house and the school was six blocks. On March 31, 1955, a train worker discovered Barbara's body, which was covered in an Army blanket. She had been sexually assaulted, strangled, and stabbed fifteen times before being dumped at an Oakland County landfill, some 25 miles northwest of her home in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, close to the Grand Trunk Western Railroad. Between Walnut Lake Road and Pontiac Trail, 200 feet off Halstead Road, lay the wooded valley where Barbara's body was discovered. The murder and rape happened within two or four hours after her kidnapping, according to the evidence, and it was strongly suspected that she had been killed in a spotless vehicle or apartment.

An attendant was pumping fuel while a girl that matched Barbara's description was inside the vehicle. The girl seemed terrified according to the gas station attendant. Other witnesses came forward saying that between 10:30 and 11:00 a.m. on the day of Gaca's kidnapping, they had seen a new Buick with a cream-coloured top parked near her dump site. Even though they could not see anyone else, the trunk was open. Some claimed the car was green, while others stated it was maroon. A tall, thin male was seen nearby at around the same time, according to a witness.
