On July 11, 1989, Rozanne Pelloni called the Wallingford Police Department to report that she’d been told Mark Vincent had “offed” his daughter Doreen. In a conversation lasting more than two hours, Rozanne struggled to get through to Sergeant Steve Davis. Despite her disturbing allegations about Mark and her obvious fear for her own safety, Sergeant Davis responded like a product of his time – a stereotypical 80s cop who placed little stock in anything she had to say. Providing historic and recent case studies of violence against women Tracey Thurman, Jennifer Magnano, Jennifer Dulos, and Karizmah Johnson, Jessica examines the struggles and lessons learned when it comes to Connecticut’s role in combating violence against women. And she wonders: if law enforcement had cared more about what the many women in Doreen’s story had to say, would we be any closer to finding her?

Attorney Jessica Fritz-Aguiar continues the investigation of the Doreen Vincent case featured on Season 2 of the podcast Faded Out. Fritz-Aguiar was the lead investigator on that podcast, and has filed a FOIA request against the Wallingford CT police, to get to the bottom of this 32 year old missing persons case.
