<<"Someone wrote a letter and sent it up here, and it had said that [Kingston] had run away to Tulsa," said Chennault.

The letter went on to claime that Kingston worked for a pimp at an old strip club. Chennault said they tracked down the establishment and spoke with people there, but nothing came of it.

"That didn't lead anywhere, and Tulsa at the time had one cold-case detective, Eddie Majors.>>

'District Attorney Jack Thorp said Kingston left in her grandmother’s red and white 1980 Mercury Monarch and told her family she would contact them once she arrived in Tulsa.

Her license plate reads CZ4818, but her vehicle has never been found. Kingston’s family told investigators they didn’t know who the man she supposedly left with was.'

The most likely thing in this case is that she was seduced by the idea of making money and obtaining some stability... I also believe that she is Canadian since in those years the border controls between the United States and Canada were very simple, just a few requirements to pass from one side to the other... Surely the evil guy who took her prostituted her and she stayed in some club for some time... Maybe she became addicted to drugs and was murdered... I hope that one day the truth will be known about this beautiful native North American...
Whatever the case
Rest in peace
