It's the evening of June 5, 1989.
A man walking around Chandler Hill Park finds a leather purse in the wooded area of Bell Hill.
He turns the purse into the Worcester Police Department's Lost and Found later that night.
Less than a mile away, North High School's graduation ceremonies for the class of '89 are underway at the Worcester Auditorium.
17-year-old Nereida Melendez isn't with her classmates. She never shows up for graduation.
Nereida's body is buried under a pile of leaves on Bell Hill.
