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. Though a special prosecutor who came to Gilmer with a gleam of glory in his eye tried to tie several individuals to Kelly’s abduction, imprisonment, rape, and slaying – including the man who’d been working nonstop to find answers, Gilmer Police Sergeant James York Brown – his attempts at creating a Satanic scandal ultimately failed. But Lyford’s witch hunt did succeed at one thing: hindering the real investigation into what happened to Kelly. There were three decent suspects who, had it not been for Satanic Panic, each might have proven to be responsible for at least had knowledge. Part 3 of 3.
