Malcolmson was last seen riding her bicycle to her summer job at a supermarket on Route 62 in Stow, Massachusetts on August 13, 1985. She never arrived for her cashier's shift. Her bike was found in 1987, dumped in the woods along Gleasondale Road in Hudson. Foul play is suspected.
Investigators think Malcolmson's disappearance may be linked to that of Sarah Pryor, a 9-year-old Wayland girl, who vanished two months later and was found murdered.
