Hi There !
I'm currently working on a case involving the disappearance of two 15-year-old girls in Rome in 1983. And, by implication, it is at one point the subject of an (indirect) link with Avon.
As a result, I've been thinking about Renee and her "Sweet Honesty" T-shirt.
The first question, which I've been asking myself for a long time, is that it must not have been cold in Fort Worth around Christmas in 1974 for a young girl to be walking around, dressed only in a T-Shirt, in an open mall.

The second thing is more subtle. Does anyone know who would have been the person selling this brand's products around the trio? For example, a reason to go and pick up products ordered for Christmas that day from this person?

Dec 23, 1974 roughly high of 76ºF and a low of 65º.
Avon was sold by many agents from their homes, a mostly part time job for mostly women to earn a little extra money.

Renee had an aunt who sold Avon.

I seem to recall TTs first wive sent an email (to LE ?) back in 2000 outlining the 'pick up' and seeing Rachel at Minot Ave., in the Oldsmobile at around 12.30pm, I think.

I would love to see a copy of that email.

I have an image of it, I've been looking at the rules but not sure if it's OK to post it? Got it from one of the FB pages.

So, it would've been rather warm. Doubtful anyone was wearing a coat. There were no articles of clothing found in the car except the jeans in the trunk. Hmmm...

The girls being trafficked is a possibility that's been discussed and debated for years. One reason it gets dismissed is because no one connected to the girls appeared to gain financially from the girls' disappearance. But that's assuming they were sold by a family member. What if someone connected to one of the girls owed someone money (a lot of money), failed to pay up, and the girls were taken that day as "payment"?
Also, there's good reason to believe some family members/individuals weren't completely honest in their statements to police, but it's very possible that members of LE had something to hide as well. jmo
