Beverly Potts was last seen on August 24, 1951 in west side Cleveland, OH.Beverly and her best friend, her next-door neighbor on Linnet Avenue, had walked the two blocks to Halloran Park after supper.A crowd of 1,500 people had gathered at Halloran Park to watch a group of entertainers.About 8:40 p.m., as darkness fell, her girlfriend left. But Beverly said she wanted to see the rest of the show and stayed.When she wasn't home by 10, her worried parents called the friend and discovered she had been home for an hour. They went to the park and found it nearly deserted.Even before police arrived, neighbors were cruising the neighborhood in their cars or searching on foot with flashlights. There was a wide search for the girl, but police could turn up nothing. In the days that followed, hundreds of police scoured the West Side for clues and interviewed thousands of persons. City park and sanitation workers were pulled off duty to search for evidence in parks, streams, culverts and fields.
