Circumstances of Disappearance

Hodrick was last seen running after an ice cream truck near her family's home on Briggs Avenue in the Bronx, New York on August 12, 1985.

Hodrick's cousin told her mother that she saw Hodrick playing video games in an arcade on the corner later in the evening. Her mother became concerned when Hodrick did not return home and called the police.

Police launched a massive search for her. Bloodhounds picked up her scent and led police down to Webster Avenue by the tracks of the Metro-North line. No trace of her has been found after that.
