April was last seen leaving her family's residence on Orchard Drive in Montville, Connecticut during the early morning hours of May 29, 1996. She climbed through her brother's window and planned to meet friends, but she never returned home. April was picked up by a 15-year-old classmate, Patrick J. "P.J." Allain, and a 30-year-old man, George Michael Leniart. There were many conflicting stories from the boys on what happened that night and where April vanished to. Her body has not been recovered, but foul play is suspected in her case due to the circumstances involved.
