Episode 89: Laurie Partridge with guest reader Liz Vassey

She Goes By Jane

On December 4, 1974, 17-year-old Laurie Partridge left school early, saying she wasn’t feeling well. She never made it home. Missing with her were the pair of Beach Boys concert tickets her dad had purchased for her for a show scheduled a week later. The night of the concert, police watched for her, but in the sea of 4000 people, Laurie was nowhere to be found. And though Laurie never showed, her tickets were used. Now, over fifty years later, Laurie Patridge is still missing.

📖 Featuring an original poem written in her honor, read by actress Liz Vassey. Liz Vassey joined the cast of ALL MY CHILDREN at age 16, earning her first of two Daytime Emmy nominations. Since the soap, Liz has appeared as a regular or recurring character on fourteen television shows including CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, ER, TWO AND A HALF MEN, MAXIMUM BOB, NECESSARY ROUGHNESS, BROTHERLY LOVE, NCIS: LA, FOX’s live action version of THE TICK, the reboot of THE TICK on Amazon, and A MILLION LITTLE THINGS. In addition to acting, Liz is an accomplished writer. She has sold eight television pilots and a TV movie - developing for such networks and studios as Netflix, NBC, Freeform, CW, Warner Brothers, Universal, and CBS Studios, with notable producers like Todd Holland, Kapital Entertainment, Mayim Bialik, and Krysten Ritter.
