There is so little information about Alice.
Here is some information about Port Authority in the 1970's; from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Authority_Bus_Terminal
"In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the area in and around the PABT was considered dangerous by police, tourists, and commuters due to high crime, prostitution, vagrant behavior, and inadequate upkeep and law enforcement in the building and nearby Times Square, especially after dark, but this is no longer the case. During 1997, the terminal was the subject of a study, coordinated by Professor Marcus Felson of Rutgers University, which identified strategic changes to the building's design and area supervision with a view to reducing crime and other problems."
Here's a documentary with lots of photo's taken during the period from a bar across the road:

what a vibrant young girl---she looks like a little fire-cracker, lots of personality.......have the police spoken with this man from Conn. in later years???? Did he continue with his profession or move into another profession.
What about the older sister--she like that PA also does she remember anything more?
I sense that this man was the last to see her alive.......there is probably alot of evidence in the sleeping bag.

Cold Case : Homicide of Alice Lezan
Cold Case : Homicide of Alice Lezan
"Investigators say that while it was believed that Alice was never a prostitute, other witnesses that were told investigators that the man Alice was seen with said that the teen went home.
In March of 1970, Lezan was first discovered by a boy walking in the woods, but his parents did not believe his story.
The boy returned with friends in November 1970. The boy’s parents then contacted the State Police.
State Police ask if anyone has any information regarding this case, to call 845-677-7300"

well I do know that well the meaning of going home could mean she met her maker is to saying she went home to god I say who ever this guy was that they really should have looked in to him more sounds to me like he may have played a big part in this also that sleeping bag and any thing else if they still have it should be looked at as well . for dna
Wondering if dna was found and if so, was it compared to the tree guy?

CRIME HUNTER: Homicide darkened 1969’s sunny skies
"Detectives had to work backward and all paths led to the tree surgeon.
Their operating theory was that the mystery man had tried to lure Alice into the prostitution game spreading like measles through Midtown.
Alice Lezan, 15, was murdered in 1969. Cops still haven’t found her killer.
In fact, detectives believe the tree surgeon was a pimp and had other girls Alice’s age on his depraved roster. He reportedly told them Alice had “gone home.”
For their part, cops never believed the bubbly teen ever worked the stroll on the mean streets of New York City.
In her odd way, the firecracker teen became one of the first casualties of the 1970s as the Age of Aquarius turned into the nightmare we appear to be still living today.
Alice was one of the first in this dawn of death. She wouldn’t be the last."

Wow I never heard of this case! Whatever happened to the Tree Pimp? Mentions CT. Did he live there? We’re there girls missing from CT from around that same time? Oh geeeze I could imagine how many other girls he sent home
... this now reminds me of the Midtown Jane Doe.
