It was January 11th, 2006. Binghamton was cold that night, quiet in the way only a small town can be when it’s hoping to keep its secrets. Bambi Madden left her house just before 11 PM. This should have just been a quick walk to the gas station. She had told her mother she was “going to get a drink”. But Bambi was never seen again. She never made it to the store. And nearly 20 years later, this community is still baffled by her disappearance. It’s one of those stories that keeps echoing—and not because we hear it so often, but because we don’t. And, that WAS TRUE–until recently, as stories like Bambi Madden’s were beyond rare in Binghamton, NY. But, this past winter (of 2024) our small town has seen a strange spike in missing persons reports making headlines & the locals are yappinggg. In This is, afterall, the Twilight Zone.
