Summary

On the night of Sunday, January 5th, 1992 in the small town of Gilmer, Texas 17-year-old Kelly Dae Wilson vanished without a trace. With virtually no clues and fewer leads the investigation moved slow, but it certainly wasn’t for the lack of effort on the part of Kelly’s family, a diligent Gilmer Police Sergeant named James York Brown, and Upshur County Sheriff Buck Cross. One of the first leads came when 20-year-old Angela Hammond disappeared 500 miles north of Gilmer in Clinton, Missouri, but it fizzled out fast. After that, the investigation into the disappearance of Kelly Dae Wilson took a series of turns for the worse, including red herrings and a bad case of Satanic Panic. Part 1 of 3.

0:08.0	On the last day of February, 1844, at 11 a.m., a Wednesday, around 400 guests boarded
0:15.8	the USS Princeton, docked in the Potomac River in Alexandria, Virginia.
0:22.0	The steamship was the pride of United States Navy captain Robert F. Stockton, a sailor
0:28.0	since he joined the military in 1811 at age 16.
0:33.7	Among the dignified elite who boarded the ship that day was President John Tyler, former
0:39.5	first lady Dolly Madison, the 15th Secretary of State, Abel Parker Upsher, and the United

0:52.7	position for nine days.
0:55.6	This trip was a public reception and finally got underway at 1 p.m. after being delayed

1:37.7	up to five miles.
1:40.3	The peacemaker had only been tested a handful of times before the overzealous captain rushed
1:46.0	the gun's mounting on the ship, which was far less than usual for such a weapon at
