Fourteen-year-old Tracy Byrd was last seen 25 years ago this morning, walking through the rain toward the doors of Bensalem High School.
Her case is far from cold.
A Bensalem detective believes he knows what happened to the petite ninth-grader and he's dismissing the old theories.
For years, people thought Tracy's mother's boyfriend killed her. Paul Greenwald was the last person to see Tracy, and he later murdered her mother. He killed himself in prison...

New twist in cases of Jane Doe and missing teen

And so, the two mysteries continue.
A DNA test concluded late last month that a pregnant female's body found in Bensalem in 1988 is not that of Tracy Byrd, a 14-year-old Bensalem girl who disappeared in 1983.
Bensalem Detective Chris McMullin was hoping the genetic analysis would connect the two. Instead, it ruled out just one possible fate for two females.
Yet, the DNA test doesn't have to be the end of either story.
Information regarding Tracy and the Jane Doe, including her recently extracted DNA, will be entered into a new national database for the missing and unidentified. The Justice Department created the central database www.namus.gov last year to help remedy the country's vastly disconnected network for solving such cases.
HAs that area already been searched at all?
I know this could be a long shot.. but

She is missing in 83. This doe is found in 88 and said to be dead for 3-5 years?
Maybe the bf had been abusing her and she turned up pregnant so he killed her and dumped her?
You guys are the experts but the timing seems okay and the noses seem similar to me as well as the eye set and the mouth.
