TX TX - Julie Moseley, 9, Mary Trlica, 17, Lisa Wilson, 14, Fort Worth, 23 Dec 1974 - #4

Why was FA so quick to sense danger? If she and RA found the car in the lot, wouldn't the logical assumption be that the girls were finishing up their shopping and would coming out shortly? Going store to store that early seems like an overreaction. I wonder whether she had suspicions that she hasn't revealed.

 

[Lineman]

This is true. If they wanted to ditch Julie, why not just take her home?

Because they couldn’t. Whatever resulted in their disappearance was already in play. It could not be reversed. I suspect it happened before they got to the mall

And where is Debra all day ?

I would think that would be a normal assumption.
Unless the actual search started a few hours later than that. TT had time to get dropped off at home by CA and take a shower then get a ride to the bowling alley. Then get a call from FA that DA is on her way back to pick him up because they are heading to the mall they can't locate Rachel and her friends.

I can imagine that keeping a family secret is very hard to do when something this tragic comes into play also. I wish the truth would be spoken by the family it belongs to.
Then and only then can this case move forward

Renee has to be at a party.

They had to be home BY 4. Not at the party.

 

[Parksestx]

The geography doesn’t support that. The Moseley home was very, very close to Seminary South. Mere minutes away.

What if Julie was tired and Rachel and Renee wanted someone to watch her for a little while? What if they tried to drop her off with Fran but Fran wasn't home? Could there have been a neighbor who was a close enough family friend to serve as a babysitter? There's evidence that both Fran and Cotton went to the shop that day, so maybe someone should put the screws to the neighbors who claimed that FA and CA never left the house.

I wish we knew more about why Debra and Rachel both felt compelled to move away from home so young.

 

[Parksestx]

Ding Ding! IMO that’s the key.

Was anyone expected to be at the Moseley home? Were Julie's parents still together?

 

[Parksestx]

We know her sister was home until she went shopping.

That's not my story to tell. . But I sure hope it gets told soon

No they were split up, but their home was right across the street from Renee's grandmother's. TM was also close by at a friend's.

 

[Dash]

Edward Harold Bell confessed to murdering 11 Texas girls. But was he really their killer?

 

[just-juju]

A very wise poster once said..."Where there is hink, there must be stink." I can't even describe the level of hinky with this case.

 

[kettlecorn]

My question is did she really ask her Mother to go shopping.
I was 17 once lol and my Mother was never my first or second choice to run around with.
As a Mother I would love my daughter to ask me to go shopping with her instead of her friends. We are extremely tight.
But does she, NOOOOOO she does not.

 

[Cowtown Rock]

Maybe. So Raven, how is fran abnormal ?

I so hope to God this question gets answered soon. One right off the bat is why in the world did she wait until TT was bowling before even telling him? Sure set him up to look bad for a long time didn't it? Still see references to it.

Fyi... EHB was in jail on December 23th, 1974.

 

[kettlecorn]

I'm guessing that over time the story got manipulated quite a bit.

 

[kettlecorn]

Or it's just one of many other tall tales.

I believe this lady existed and what she saw were two men forcing 3 girls into a truck.
I do not believe that RA was able to track her down and question her
