The Yorktown Apartments off Tyvola Road became the site of a mystery that would baffle police for half-a-century.

“My mother was just, she was just pitiful, and she lived the rest of her life like that,” Hill said. “She, in her mind, thought that she would see her again, but she didn’t.”

I have always felt that the 31 July 1975 disappearance of Denise was connected to the disappearance of Pricilla Blevins, who went missing on 7 July 1975 from the same area as Denise.

Pricilla's skeletal remains were later found to the west of Charlotte. She wasn't identified until 2012. Her murder remains unsolved. Pricilla has a thread in the Identified section of Websleuths.
