Several investigators and family members interviewed for last year's Cinemax documentary Have You Seen Andy? by Medford filmmaker Melanie Perkins are convinced he was stalked and abducted by a sexual predator or predators working in concert.

(The case remains unsolved.) "Every now and then, I go into that room that is Andy's room in my heart, where I keep all the information and all the emotions about him," says Puglisi, a 58-year-old pediatric nurse who says she copes by compartmentalizing. "When that door pops open and I'm starting to connect with all this emotion there's always that risk I'm going to lose it. A lot of times, I have to slam that door shut." Some parents never accept the possibility that their longtime missing child is dead. Experts says that's because, psychologically, they have spent years keeping the child alive in their minds, and in everyone else's memory, and by suddenly choosing to believe that the child is deceased without irrefutable proof parents feel as though they have killed the child in their thought processes. "We have a nine-room house here that the children grew up in," Lyman Moulton says, mentioning he and Claire have talked about abandoning their Dutch Colonial for smaller quarters, "but the truth of the matter is, Cathy lived in this house.

The truth of the matter is, she knows, or hopefully would know, where this house is." Wringing his hands, he adds: "We've kept the same phone number. I would fight to the end of time to keep this phone number. You could say, 'Oh, my but what else have we got?" Judith Chani of Lake Worth, Florida, has been consulting psychics and praying for the safe return of her only child, Lau-reen Ann Rahn, for the last 28 years. Fourteen-year-old Lau-reen vanished from their third-floor Manchester, New Hampshire, apartment late April 26 or early April 27, 1980, while her mother went on a date. "Not one of them has said they see her passed away," Chani says of the numerous psychics who have advised her.

"It's a mother's instinct, too. I've never, ever felt her passed away in my heart." Recently, a Florida psychic who gave the 61-ycar-old retired restaurantnightclub owner a telephone reading told her that her daughter had been abducted by an Asian gang, is living in Israel, has had two children whom she "had to give up," and would be coming home, alive. "I say my prayers faithfully," says Chani, "and I trust the Lord that he'sgoing to bring her back to me." Families of cold-case missing children go on missingthem long after the press and public have lost interest and, in the end, only finding the child or the child's remains can put to rest their searching and waiting. "You never get to say goodbye, you know," says Magdalen Bish, mother of the Massachusetts girl whose remains were found. "When Molly came home, we just had her 26 bones.

We held her skull. We touched her bones, because we needed to say goodbye, but it wasn't the Molly that we knew." For Dick Moreau, even a fragment of one of the 206 bones in the human body would be enough. Slowly, agonizingly, Moreau had come to the conclusion that his daughter was dead, and he had a death certificate issued in 1993. Now he'd like to bury Kimbcrly next to her paternal grandparents and her mother. (Kimberly's mother, Patricia Moreau, died at age 48 in 1988.) "All they're looking for now is the major bones of the body, like the elbow, the knee, the hip joint, these kinds of things," Moreau says clinically, having learned over the years about decomposition rates.

"We're probably looking for a piece of bone that's 3 by 3 inches if we're lucky. But that's all we need. It's still 1 III WALNUT HILL 12 Highland Si. Natick, MA 01 760 508-650-5020 www.walnuthlllarts.org Safe, Structured Family Environment. Elective Program.
