41 Years Ago, This Teen Left Her House With A Male Friend, Who Later Said They Got Into An Argument Before She Disappeared
Cocoa Beach, Florida. It was the summer of 1983, and 18-year-old Tammy Lynn Leppert had just started to really scratch the surface of her movie career.
Tammy was no stranger to the spotlight; she had spent her childhood competing in pageants and racking up hundreds of wins.
But that year that she turned 18, she landed a role in the movie Spring Break, and then she went on to secure a part in Scarface.
Tammy was excited to continue her career as an actress, and her big dream was to make the move to Hollywood, which she had planned to do soon.
Unfortunately, before Tammy could turn her dreams into a reality, she disappeared.
In the days leading up to Tammy’s disappearance, Tammy’s mom realized she wasn’t acting quite like herself.
According to Tammy’s mom, Tammy was becoming increasingly fearful and anxious, and she kept insisting someone was about to kill her.
Concerned for her daughter, Tammy’s mom got her medical attention, but the doctor who examined Tammy couldn’t find anything obviously wrong with her.
And then, July 6th, 1983 came around. Tammy left her mom’s house in Rockledge that morning to go with a male friend of hers to Cocoa Beach.

Tammy’s mom recalled that she didn’t take the time to brush her hair before leaving with her friend, which seemed out of character to her mom.
Tammy’s friend picked her up and drove that day, but at some point during their time together, they got into a disagreement.
Tammy’s friend would later say that he left her in a parking lot close to the Glass Bank, and that was it; he had no further contact with her.
After that, Tammy went missing.
Tammy’s sister Suzanne has created a website and Facebook page to help try to find her, and Suzanne has previously said she thought Tammy might have been 3 months pregnant at the time of her disappearance.
It’s now been 41 years since Tammy vanished, and Suzanne is still positive that she will have answers sometime soon about what happened to her sister.
