18-year-old Tammy Lynn Leppert was no stranger to the spotlight. By the time she'd reached high school she'd already competed in hundreds of pageants, winning close to 300 titles. She even graced the cover of Cover Girl Magazine when she was just 13. Her pageant and modeling career opened the door to acting opportunities - Tammy's true passion. She worked her way up from local commercials to bit parts in movies like "Spring Break" and "Scarface." But right as her acting career was starting to gain momentum, Tammy began exhibiting odd behavior. Then one day in the summer of 1983 she went on a drive with a friend...and never returned.
