Several years ago, a young woman from south of Boston (Taunton) went missing.
According to her husband, they were in the car together and they fought. She asked to be let out and he stopped at the side of the highway.
He says when he cooled down and returned she was not there.
Her name was Debbie Melo and just the other day a body turned up off the highway many towns (Plainville) and miles away (maybe 20). My first gut reaction was this was her, but I have not been able to find many articles from the original date of her disappearance.

Try www.southofboston.com The Patriot Ledger archives....I believe Debbie Melo disappeared on Route 18 in Weymouth, MA. There might also be articles in the Boston Globe and Brockton Enterprise archives...not sure how long ago it was.

There was a lead-in in today's Patriot Ledger that there will be an article in Monday, June 20, 2005's Ledger about Debra Melo...

I remember when this happened as I was doing an internship at a NH tv station.

I have often thought about Debbie and her family...

saying a prayer for answers.

She asked for a restraining order years before her disappearance.

He has since beaten at least one woman and threatened worse.

WHY can't LE get this piece of dirt off the streets?
