UNSOLVED DISAPPEARANCE: DEBORAH POE

Posted byadminPosted inUncategorizedTags:, , , ,

When a hard-working Florida woman vanishes from behind the counter of her nightshift job at a convenience store, a massive search is launched. A series of chillingly similar disappearances suggests the possibility of a serial predator preying upon female cashiers in the Sunshine State in this episode of Last Seen Alive.

Deborah Poe vanished from her nightshift job at an Orlando, Florida convenience story on February 4th, 1990. She has never been found.
Deborah was 26-years-old when she went missing from Orlando, Florida. She was hard-working, determined and beloved by her family and friends.
Despite extensive search efforts, investigators have never been able to locate Deborah or her remains.
Deborah grew up in Virginia, and had moved to Orlando, Florida with a close friend just months before her disappearance. Prior to vanishing, she had been working hard on building a life for herself in the Sunshine State.
This sketch depicts “Megadeath Guy”, a young man who was seen in the abandoned convenience store after Deborah’s disappearance. Investigators believe he may have witnessed something meaningful, but have been unable to locate him.
Deborah is fondly remembered and badly missed by friends and family, who have kept her memory alive for more than 30 years.
