Murder on I-95: What Happened to Pamela Webb?
She had done this drive many times before…
On July 1st, 1989, 32-year-old Pamela Webb left her home after 4th of July family gathering in Withrop, Maine to set out on a road trip she was very familiar with. She packed up her favorite things, including her trusty pup, Thumper, a beagle/basset hound mix, and hit the road in her 1981 blue Chevy Pickup towards Mason, New Hampshire to see her boyfriend for the long weekend. Her family had no idea that night that Pamela would never make it to her destination.
Later that night Pamela’s blue Chevy was found on the side of the highway near Biddeford with a flat tire and signs of a struggle nearby, but Pamela was nowhere to be found.
Almost two and a half weeks later, her body was found in the woods of New Hampshire three hours away from where her truck was stranded, and the medical examiner declared her cause of death “unspecified violent homicide.”
To this day, Maine State Police are still trying to fill in the pieces of a still fuzzy timeline that will answer the question: What happened to Pamela Webb?
Press play now to hear Pamela’s story, the angles that police have investigated, and the theories internet sleuths have discovered while trying to come up with answers to this cold case mystery.
Special thanks to Pamela’s niece, Angela, for sharing her personal stories.
