- Details of Disappearance:
- Tracey disappeared on March 6, 2005, around 3:00 p.m. from her home in Rosedale, Maryland. She was supposed to go to a Motley Crue concert in Washington, D.C., that night, but never showed up. Her phone was off after 3:05 p.m. that day.
Her black 1996 Pontiac Trans Am (Maryland plates: LRN 534) was later found abandoned at a Days Inn in Glen Burnie, Maryland. Security footage showed a man driving and parking the car.
Tracey was afraid of her husband, Dennis, and was considering a divorce after only six months of marriage. She was seeing a coworker and planned to go to the concert with him. Dennis reported her missing but wouldn’t help with the investigation.
Four years later, Dennis was arrested and convicted of Tracey’s murder. The prosecution argued he killed her after discovering her affair. Dennis claimed he was innocent.
Tracey was a responsible woman with a good job and pets. Her family believes she wouldn’t have left without warning. Her body was never found, but police suspect foul play.
