Ithaca Police Officer Jamie Williamson said, “To my knowledge, no,we have no new substantial leads. It’s still an open investigation and we are actively investigating the circumstances that led up to her becoming a missing person.”
Marranca said her step-daughter is dealing with addiction and does both heroin and crack, but it’s not like her to completely vanish from friends and family for so long.
“She has disappeared like all addicts will disappear for a while,” Marranca previously said. “Her inner circle of friends, I would say, she usually keeps in contact with.”
