Lynn Burdick
More than four years ago, Massachusetts woman Lynn Burdick, 18, went missing while working alone at the Barefoot Peddler’s Country Store in the town of Florida. State police believe the unidentified suspect of a nearby, failed abduction might have something to do with it. Now they are releasing age-progressed sketches of that man.
The suspect is described as a white man, standing 5 feet, 7 inches, police said on Tuesday. He is now approximately 70 years old, cops said. This is how he supposedly looked in 1982:

Burdick went missing some time between 8 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. on April 17, 1982. Barefoot Peddler’s Country Store was on Route 2 in the town of Florida, Massachusetts.
“The Berkshire District Attorney’s Office and Massachusetts State Police continue to actively investigate the case with a focus on a separate attempted abduction that occurred 45 minutes earlier, 13 miles away in Williamstown,” cops said. “The sketches released today are of the suspect in the Williamstown abduction attempt.”
Authorities worked with a forensic artist with the Lincoln Police Department to make these images based on recent case interviews.
“Further case data suggests that he may have ties to the state of Vermont,” police said. “Investigators are releasing a new sketch of how the suspect appeared in 1982 and four aged-progressed sketches of how he may appear today, with assorted grooming alterations.”
Police ask that anyone with information on this man to call (413) 499-1112 or email the MSP’s Unresolved Case Unit at [email protected].
