I AM ONE – JANICE POCKETT – TOLLAND, CONNECTICUT
Janice Pocket has been missing since July 26th, 1973, at which time she was seven years old. Janice was last seen leaving her family’s home on Anthony Road in Tolland, Connecticut. She planned to ride her metallic green Murray Bicycle, which had a bell and a banana seat, through the neighborhood to search for a butterfly she had caught and left on a rock a few days earlier.
Janice was carrying an envelope to put the butterfly in. It was the first time she was allowed to go out by herself. Janice was never seen again.
Janice’s mother found her bicycle half an hour later, on Rhoades Road near a wooded area less than a mile from her residence.
The butterfly and envelope were never found.
Authorities believe something happened to Janice after she picked up the butterfly on her way home.
