Texas Killing Fields: 1971
The first documented disappearance happened in June when 13 year old Colette Anise Wilson went missing while waiting for her mother in Alvin, Texas. The police paid her family little mind, insisting she has simply run away. The next few cases drew a similar response, with no one wanting to look at what was happening around the Houston/Galveston area. It soon became apparent however, that the fields around the I45 corridor were a place of death and unimaginable suffering.
