Lured Into A Trap: The Heartbreaking Disappearance of Margaret Ellen Fox
In June 1974, 14-year-old Margaret Ellen Fox took the bus to meet a man who had responded to her ad for babysitting services. She has never been heard from again
Background
On the morning of June 24, 1974, 14-year-old Margaret Ellen Fox left her home and made her way to a bus stop near her family’s house in Burlington, New Jersey. Margaret was accompanied by her younger brother, Joe, who waved goodbye as she boarded the 8:40 a.m. bus to take the seven-mile trip to nearby Mount Holly.
Margaret was in good spirits that day, as she had just recently begun her summer vacation after finishing 8th grade at St. Paul School in Burlington.
