The night of Pamela Conyers' disappearance, the 16-year-old attended a high school pep rally and then drove to the mall.
More than a half-century after Maryland high school student Pamela Conyers was found strangled to death following her disappearance from a local shopping mall, law enforcement officials announced Friday that they finally solved the case.
"We are pleased to deliver a measure of justice for Pamela Conyers and her loved ones," said FBI agent Tom Sobocinski. "Cases may grow cold, investigators may change, but this proves that for law enforcement, victims are never forgotten." But Sobocinski said the case demonstrates how evolving technology allows law enforcement to solve cold cases, a process that "has given hope where previously there may have been none."
"If he were still alive, he would have been charged with the murder of Pamela Conyers," Anne Arundel County Police Chief Amal Awad said during the Friday news conference.Michael Golden, a high school classmate of Conyers, said the announcement brought some sense of closure — but also raised more questions. Golden attended the news conference with his high school yearbook in hand, opening it to a photo of Conyers.
