Ms. Thorpe was found shot to death on October 23, 1988 shortly after 7:00 AM off a gravel road, approximately ¼ mile outside the Warrenton Town limits on the northbound side of Rt. 17. Ms. Thorpe, who was twenty years old at the time of her death, was last seen around 3:00 AM in Warrenton, Virginia driving her 1986 two door gold Pontiac Grand Am with Virginia registration 86-TAMMY. The State Medical Examiner determined that Tammy had died of multiple gunshot wounds. Evidence recovered by the investigating team indicates a small caliber handgun was involved.
The original team of investigators had the case profiled by the FBI at Quantico, Virginia. The profile concludes Ms. Thorpe’s assailant was most probably a white male who lives in Fauquier County and knew her. Experts at the National Center are still convinced that Tammy was not killed by a stranger but by someone she knew. At the time of the killing the perpetrator was most likely exhibiting signs of great psychological stress and had to internalize his anger and frustration over this senseless crime. He is still likely to be thinking about it today and haunted by dreams of what happened.
