Wonder if this guy could be connected to the case in any way?

I doubt it. The story is about Murderer Curtis Don Brown who has been in prison since killing a nurse in her home in 1986. Recent DNA evidence has linked him to the murder of another woman in Fort Worth in 1985, and police have now opened 18 other cold cases which he may have been involved in - all from the early 1980's.Yeah said:Curtis Don Brown - Wikipedia

As you indicate, such a scenario is possible, but is it really all that probable? We are talking about three young girls here, not secret agents or con artists who are experienced at disappearing and assuming new identities.Mr. E said:I wonder what evidence they have to make them suspect that at least one girl is still alive? 30 years is a long time to go without making any kind of contact, even if the reason you disappeared was something awful.
Still, I suppose it has happened. Laurie Davern was missing for 20-some years, wasn't she? And she just left voluntarily.
I'm inclined to agree with T-Rex, who suggested earlier a scenario in which the youngest girl died and the others left to hide that fact. I feel like the child, at least, would not leave so easily from her home and not return for 30 years.
I'm fairly certain someone knows what happened to them, but without any evidence the police can't do anything about it.2sisters said:I'm bumping this with the 31st anniversary of their dissapearances coming up.
Rachel would be/will be 48, Lisa 45, and Julie 40. Someone out there knows what happened to them, their families have spent too many holidays without them. They deserve to know where they are.
There has long been speculation that the sister of one of the missing girls was involved. She denies it, of course, and obviously the police don't have any evidence to prove otherwise. From what I've read, she and her family don't have a good relationship. Whether that came about as a result of this tragedy, or whether it was always that way is unknown.mjak said:This is a case that I find so sad. As much as I would like to think one of the girls could be alive I find that hard to believe. The girls car was found right were they said they were going. In the car were items they had picked up from another store that had been on layway for one of the girls. This supports they went and were doing exactly what they said they were doing. If the older girls had other plans, such as doing drugs or running away I don't think they would have taken 9 year old Julie Ann with them. Had an x boyfriend or other known person decided to do something to one of the girls I find it unlikly he/she would choose to do it when that person is out with two other people. I think Richards scinerio "The far more likely scenario is that all three girls were abducted by a person or persons who subsequently killed them." is far more likley. I would be curious if there are records of other missing females at that time in Texas or unsolved and unexplained murders of females. What a sad case.

The sister's name is Debra. Here is a snippet about her:mjak said:I find it hard to believe that the Sister of one of the girls could be responsible for the dissapearnce of all three. I just can't come up with a motivation for her to have gotten rid of all three girls. Why would she have done something to an innocent 9 year old child? the cumstances surrounding the dissapearnce just does not add up to me as a crime of jelousy or sisterly foul play. Sounds more like an opportunistic abduction situation to me.

That's true, but please keep in mind that this was a busy shopping center, and the sight of one or two strangers armed with a gun would probably have gotten someone's attention. You know how it is when a mall is crowded during the Christmas shopping season, and you drive slowly through the parking lot trying to find a place to park. You are looking at every car you approach to see if anyone is getting ready to leave. So it just doesn't seem likely, to me, that these three girls were abducted in that manner.mjak said:A stranger or two strangers with a gun would probalby not have much of a problem getting two teenagers and a 9 year old to get into a van or car with them.
