Camden 1983 Cold Case Solved — arrest shocks community

The heat still lingered on the pavement when Hailey Carmichael vanished in the Riverside neighborhood of Camden, New Jersey, where red-brick row houses line the banks of the Delaware River. The sweltering summer night draped the city in a thin mist rising from the water, making the yellow streetlights flicker like the weak breath of a creature warning that something was about to happen. At 9:18 p.m., the grocery store owner, Mr. Ramirez, looked through the glass and saw the 19-year-old girl walking quickly along the sidewalk, her canvas bag swinging under the dim light, heading toward the stretch of trees where the street was unusually quiet. Hailey only intended to walk a few blocks home, but her figure disappeared around the corner — and no one ever saw her emerge again. What happened in the less than 60 minutes that followed would haunt Camden for four decades and expose a secret the city never saw coming.
