b'1986 - Kingston, Massachussetts.\\n\\nOn a brisk night in October of 1986, 15-year-old Tracy Gilpin left a friend\\u2019s house party in Rocky Nook to buy a pack of cigarettes at the Cumberland Farms gas station. When she left the parking lot around 11:30pm, it was the last time she would be seen alive.\\nThree weeks later, Tracy\\u2019s body was found 11 miles away in Myles Standish State Forest. She\\u2019d been crushed by a 73 lb boulder.\\nFor years, the Gilpin\\u2019s fought to keep Tracy in the public eye. Her sister, Kerry Gilpin, inspired to help make a difference for other families, even became a state trooper (and eventually the superintendent) for the Massachusetts State Police.\\xa0\\nAs years went on and other cases were solved, they always wondered when their day for justice would come\\u2026 and 32 years later, in 2018, it did; when police arrested 61-year-old Michael Arthur Hand in North Carolina.\\nThis is the murder of Tracy \\u201cAshtray\\u201d Gilpin and what we know in the case against Michael Hand, which will most likely be heading to trial sometime this year.\\nThough an arrest has been made, the work is still not done.
