Renewed interest in a cold case -- a tip leading Mobile County Sheriff’s investigators to excavate property in Wilmer where 26-year-old Debra Pritchett lived at the time of her disappearance.
The nursing student and mother of four -- just vanished in January, 1998. Sheriff Paul Burch says they’ve always had a suspect. Now those who knew Debra best hope new information will lead them closer to a conclusion in the case.
“Me and all of us who worked with her and loved her so dearly -- we knew she was dead. I still believe she was dead,” said Patty. A devoted mother -- Patty also says there’s no way -- Debbie would have left her 2-year-old son CJ and newborn daughter Brianna. Born with Down Syndrome -- Brianna was just six months old and recently had heart surgery at UAB. Patty read us a letter written by Debbie thanking fellow employees for their support during that time.
“I was really excited when they called me and asked if they could come out there because I thought -- they must know something different than what they knew before,” said Patty.
