13-year-old Leigh Occhi was left alone for an hour on the morning of August 27, 1992. In that short window of time, something violent happened in her Tupelo, Mississippi home. Blood, hair, and clothing were all left behind, but Leigh was gone.
The remnants of Hurricane Andrew washed away potential clues, and no trace of Leigh was found. Soon, the whispers started about someone close to Leigh: Vickie Felton, her mother. But According to Vickie, there was someone else who police needed to look at: a man named Oscar “Mike” Kearny; Leigh’s Sunday School teacher. Could a horrific crime committed nine months after Leigh’s disappearance hold the answers in her case?
If you have any information about the disappearance of Leigh Occhi, please contact the Tupelo Police Department at (662) 841-6491, or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at 1-800-773-TIPS.
