Join Jessica Fritz Aguiar as she attempts to build a truce with the Wallingford Police Department, examining the impact of the department’s recent change in leadership on the investigation as well as its apparent unwillingness to examine the relevance of sexual abuse to Doreen’s case.

Follow Jessica Fritz Aguiar as she examines the possibilities of finding Doreen Vincent at a number of locations across Connecticut, including 1316 Whirlwind Hill and Huntington State Park. Joining her for the conversation are no-body expert Tad DiBiase and long-lost Huntington ranger Paul O’Connell, who saw Mark’s 1977 Chevy pickup in the park in the summer following Doreen’s disappearance.

We may think we know what happened to Doreen Vincent, but as in so many other cold cases involving so-called endangered runaways - like Alissa Turney and Aundria Bowman - we can’t know the truth unless and until the person responsible for her disappearance speaks. Listen as Jessica Fritz Aguiar unpacks the mystery of what really happened that night in June 1988 in Wallingford, Connecticut with the help of a private investigator hired by Doreen’s family, psychic Vanessa, and nationally renowned “no-body” expert and prosecutor Tad DiBiase.

On June 15, 1988, Doreen Jane Vincent disappeared from the Connecticut farmhouse her career criminal father had rented the week before. At twelve, she had already lived 1,000 lifetimes. When her mother discovered her missing three days later, Mark Vincent told the cops she’d run away. Sounds simple, right? But that’s just the beginning of a long, twisted story – that maybe, in the end, holds answers and redemption. Join Jessica Fritz Aguiar as she dives deep into a thirty-three year old cold case, calling out long dead witnesses, a Christian addiction group, the Wallingford PD, and Doreen’s family itself. Because Jessica’s like any good Sticky Beak – a pushy broad who doesn’t take no for an answer.

Get ready for an all new season of Sticky Beak, as Jessica Fritz Aguiar continues her quest to get justice for Doreen Vincent, who has been missing since 1988, and whose case has recently been changed to a homicide. Doreen's father, Mark Vincent, is the prime suspect in the disappearance of his daughter, who was just 12 years old when he claimed they had a fight and she ran away... never to be seen again. The walls are closing in, and experts are lining up to solve this case.
