On June 24, 1974, 14 year old Margaret Ellen Fox disappeared after leaving her home in Burlington, New Jersey, for what she believed was her first summer babysitting job. A man calling himself John Marshall had contacted her family after seeing a babysitting advertisement, but after Margaret travelled to Mount Holly to meet him, she was never seen again. Four days later, her family received a $10,000 ransom call, neither Margaret nor the man behind the supposed job has ever been found.

In this episode, we examine how the alleged setup unfolded, the suspicious phone number that led investigators to a public payphone, and the red Volkswagen reportedly connected to the case. We also listen to the ransom call and revisit a sketch of a possible person of interest, trying to determine whether the caller's voice could match the man's reported appearance. Who was John Marshall, and was the ransom call connected to Margaret's disappearance?
