After her disappearance, Deborah's pocketbook was found in a trash bin on Interstate 91 south of Rocky Hill, Connecticut; the Posts had lived in that community before they moved to Sturbridge, not long before Deborah disappeared. The day after Larry reported his wife missing, the police were questioning him when he left to go to his office at work and get some papers he said might prove useful to the investigation. He didn't return and in fact dropped out of sight completely until June 16, when he cashed two stolen checks, totaling approximately $5,000, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was arrested in August. His five-year prison sentence was suspended after he promised to make restitution. Massachusetts police traveled to Nevada to interview Larry further about Deborah, but weren't able to get any useful information. Larry died in Wallingford, Connecticut at the Age at the time of disappearance: of 54. Deborah graduated from Enfield High School in Connecticut in 1979; she was an honors student throughout her high school years and participated in various extracurricular activities. The circumstances of her disappearance are unclear, but authorities stated there's no evidence that she left of her own accord. It isn't known whether Larry's criminal activities have any relation to Deborah's disappearance, but her husband has not been ruled out as a suspect. Her case remains unsolved. Other information and links : ncy Sturbridge Police Department 508-347-2525 September 2021 updates and sources A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are not known. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
