Summary

Few leads came investigators’ way after 17-year-old Kelly Dae Wilson vanished on the night of Sunday, January 5th, 1992 in the small town of Gilmer, Texas. But Sergeant James York Brown was making progress. Unfortunately, that progress was thwarted when a man named Scott Lyford came to town and cooked up a Satanic Cult scandal, one that eventually ruined the lives of several individuals and damaged the Kelly Wilson case so badly that Texas Attorney General Chief Special prosecutor said it would likely never be solved. Part 2 of 3.
