Murder of Amy Pagnac


On August 5, 1989, 13-year-old Amy Pagnac and her father, Marshal Midden were on their way home from a trip to their farm. On the way home, they stopped at a Holiday Inn gas station in Osseo, Minnesota. Midden went inside to pay for gas and to use the bathroom and left Amy in the vehicle. When he came back out he found that Amy wasn’t there anymore, he thought that Amy might have used the restroom also and waited for her outside of it. But when a stranger came out of the bathroom instead of his daughter it worried him.


This was the last time anyone saw Amy.


Midden searched around for his daughter. After not finding her he called his wife to find out if Amy was home. After he found out that she did not go home he called the police. Where they had told him to go home so that they could interview him.


Authorities initially believed that Amy had left on her own. Over the summer she had repeatedly runway, but would always soon return home. This possibility seems less likely. If she did runaway she only took the clothes on her back as she didn't have any extra with her or even her wallet.


Amy also more recently had a history of seizures and headaches. There was no known cause of headaches and seizures. It is also believed that while Midden was inside that Amy might have had a seizure and became disoriented and wandered off. Her parents don’t believe that it what happened according to her mother it would have been strange for her daughter to wander away even after a seizure.


The parents believe even if Amy had had a seizure she would have been found when her father searched the area. They also think that if she had wandered off that when driving around Midden would have found the girl.


In 1990 a private investigator told the parents that it was possible that Amy was put into the sex trafficking ring. By the time that the police stepped in the ring had already moved on. Leaving Amy’s parents dreading what their daughter was possibly going through.


In 2014 The home of Amy’s parents were told to leave their home for a week by the police. They knew that rumors around town had claimed that they did the landscaping around the time that Amy disappeared, but Amy’s mother Sue claimed that the landscaping happened in 1993 four years after Amy disappeared. This search doesn’t worry about her parents. Her mother says she knows that they are suspects, but is glad that the police are still searching for her daughter. She only hopes that this new attention would bring her daughter home.

Amy was five feet tall, she weighed 100 lbs. She is white with brown hair and blue eyes. She has scars on her left cheek, left eyelid, and on the left side of her nose. She also has a circular scar on her left knee. Her ears are pierced. On the day she disappeared she was wearing sweatpants and a light-colored sweatshirt and sneakers.
