Investigators Make Big Break In Missing Teen Case

Reporting

BROCKTON (WBZ) ― Investigators are calling it a big break in a case that had nearly gone cold.

A team of private detectives has uncovered physical evidence near some train tracks in Brockton.

It's an area where Jennifer Fay used to hang out with her friends back when she disappeared in 1989. She was 16-years old.

"We don't want to get our hopes up too high. We believe this is huge. We believe that this is a very important piece to the puzzle. Will we be bringing Jennifer home this week? We don't know," said Michelle Littleton, one of five investigators working on the case pro-bono through the Molly Bish Foundation.

After the discovery, they brought in trained search dogs last weekend. Two out of three dogs got a positive hit for human remains. "Their accuracy is pretty amazing," said Littleton.

Massachusetts State police working with the District Attorney are now following up with their own search.

No word yet on whether their dogs have been able to confirm the new lead.
