New England's Unsolved: The mystery of Sandra Crispo takes a chilling turn

Questions answered for the family of Sandra Crispo. There's definitely a relief, an answer. We know where she is. Her remains found miles away from her home. But who killed her and why? I think she was a victim and I think she was targeted for something that she did not have. Which was money. Gold. The search for answers is growing after the remains of a Hanson woman were found in Plymouth. Human remains were first found in March of last year and were identified as Crispo's on Tuesday. New England's Unsolved has been following this story since Crispo disappeared back in 2019. Boston 25 News reporter Bob Ward covered this story most recently in 2024 over missing money including gold bars. Well Rachel, what happened to Sandra Crispo is a real mystery. She was 54 years old, a grandmother. After more than six years we now know where she ended up but we don't know why. Sandra's daughter believes her mother lost her life over inherited gold bars. And I'm grateful that we can finally grieve my mother. It's been a long time coming. Lena McMahon has spent more than six years wondering what happened to her mother Sandra Crispo. This week investigators told Lena they found Sandra's remains in woods along Route 3 in Plymouth. Confirmation came from an FBI DNA analysis. They told me that the human remains recovered on March 7th were those of my mom's. I guess it was a frontal part of the skull. Sandra Crispo was last seen alive on August 7th 2019 when Lena's husband dropped Sandra off at her home in Hanson after bringing Sandra's car to a garage for repairs. These surveillance photos taken at a nearby gas station moments before are the last images of Sandra Crispo. When Lena found her mother's empty house she was immediately concerned. There was a tiny bit of blood spatter in almost every room of her house. Sandra's remains were discovered 16 miles away from her home. Lena is convinced her mother was a victim of foul play, murdered over inherited family money. She believes other family members are not telling authorities everything they know. Why would anybody want to do something like this to your mother? The only logical thing I can think of Bob is greed. You know I think she was a victim and I think she was targeted for something that she did not have. Which was money? Gold. So for now one part of the Sandra Crispo mystery is settled but this case is not over. You may not like these answers that you got. Are you ready for that? I'm so ready for it. You know if anything she deserves that. Sandra's daughter tells me state police intend to return to Plymouth soon to conduct a detailed grid search of that area where her mother was found. They'll be looking for human remains and more evidence that could finally break this case. I'm Bob Ward for your local station Boston 25 News. All right Bob thank you.
