Summary

In the days and weeks following the disappearances of 17-year-old Rachel Trlica, 14-year-old Renee Wilson, and 9-year-old Julie Moseley on December 24th, 1974, and after the arrival of the infamous letter, things continued to grow more complicated and confusing. Bad tips, terribly cruel prank calls, and strange sightings took up more valuable time than the Wilson’s, the Moseley’s, and the Arnold’s had. Perhaps a few things, however, can be gleaned from the newspaper reports and Fran Arnold’s notes, which kept at the families’ activities at least somewhat documented. Still, though, nothing was panning out at the time...and nothing, really, had panned out in the following decades.
